save data

[kapil kumar jain]

I am characterising a microwave component using VNA. I test the component many times. I convert the data in an excel sheet and save it. In general the files are saved with time/date as a suffix and DUT name as a prefix.  How can I give suffixes as A, B or C to the data files?  If the first file has suffix A the next file should has suffix B automatically and so on.

Perhaps build a string array with the characters you want to use as the elements...then use the version (first sub version) to choose the 1st element from the array which you would have set to A...strip the file name, seperate the .cvi and concantenate the A to the original name.

Hope that helps.

Or iteration number + 65 typecast to string.  (If you get past 26 iterations, then you will have to figure out what you want next.)

Actually this pretty much shows what Hummer is talking about, but rather than prebuilding the array and indexing out.
