Function ASCIIConfigLoad in vb script does not work

[effendie]

l have my data stored in ASCII format and have created a ASCII converter setup. The idea is to load my datas automatically using vbs. I try the following solution found in DIAdem help page:

Call ASCIIConfigLoad("myconfig.stp")
Call ASCIILoad("mydata.csv",0)

Unfortunately no data will be loaded after executed this script.

Any idea what was wrong?

Thank you

Hello Ignacio,

Is there a reason why you would not use a DataPlugin in favor of the ASCII loading process?

DataPluings are very easy to create and easier to handle in Scripts as well.

Hi All,

DIAdem 2011 no longer enables the GPI-DLLs used by the old ASCII Import Wizard and Excel Import Wizard.  The replacement features are the ASCII DataPlugin Wizard and the Excel DataPlugin Wizard, and as Otmar mentioned, you will get much better performance and many extra features when using a DataPlugin.

If you need to continue using existing scripts that are based on either of these old features, all you need to do is go to the menu Settings>>Options>>Extensions>>GPI Extensions... and add the GfSAscii.dll and/or GfSExcel.dll to the list of active DLLs.  After that you should save your Desktop.DDD file in order for the change to persists in all future DIAdem launches.
