- // HR, 12/19/95. Version 1.1. Added ExecuteCmdOnQuotedList function.
-
- // ExecuteCmdOnList(cmdTemplate, list)
- // Executes the specified command on each item in the list.
- // list is a semicolon-separated list of items, usually wave names.
- // cmdTemplate is an Igor command with "%s" in place of the item.
- // NOTE: %s may occur only once in cmdTemplate.
- // Example:
- // Make wave0=x, wave1=2*x; ExecuteCmdOnList("AppendToGraph %s", "wave0;wave1")
- //
- // If the list consists of wave names or data folder names that may be liberal names,
- // call ExecuteCmdOnQuotedList instead of ExecuteCmdOnList.
-
- Function ExecuteCmdOnList(cmdTemplate, list)
- String cmdTemplate
- String list
-
- String theItem // the item to operate on
- Variable index=0
- String cmd
-
- do
- theItem= GetStrFromList(list, index, ";")
- if (strlen(theItem) == 0)
- break // ran out of items
- endif
- sprintf cmd, cmdTemplate, theItem
- Execute cmd
- index += 1
- while (1) // loop until break above
- End
-
- // ExecuteCmdOnQuotedList(cmdTemplate, list)
- // Use this instead of ExecuteCmdOnList if the list contains wave or data folder names.
- // It creates a local copy of the list, adding single quotes for liberal names and then
- // calls ExecuteCmdOnList.
