It is possible, save a file JMP as .ascii??
JMP data tables can be exported as CSV for use with other programs. Meta data, like column formats and table scripts, is not preserved.
JMP data tables can also create a script (red triangle menu) that will recreate the table with the meta data.
Both of these are plain text formats. If your table data has non-ASCII strings, the files will contain those strings.
Not sure if this is what you're asking, but you can save a text string to an ascii file. For example:
my_ascii_file = "c:\temp\test.ascii";
random_string =
"The quick red fox jumped over the brown log.
The quick red fox jumped over the brown log.
The quick red fox jumped over the brown log.";
save text file(my_ascii_file, random_string);
What I have is basically a table in JMP and I want to convert each column in a .ASCII file...???
Try something like this:
dt = open("$sample_data\Big Class.jmp");
for (i = 1, i <= ncols(dt), i++,
one_col = column(dt, i);
one_name = one_col << get name;
one_type = one_col << get data type;
col_list = as list(one_col << get values);
if (one_type == "Numeric",
// For numeric columns convert number to character
for (k = 1, k < nitems(col_list), k++,
col_list[k] = char(col_list[k]);
);
// concatenate all column values together with a line feed between each one
col_text = concat items(col_list, "
");
one_file = "c:\temp\" || one_name || ".txt";
save text file(one_file, col_text);
or if you want all the columns in one file, export to CSV via JSL like this (or use File->Save):
dt<<save("$temp/test3.csv");
loadtextfile("$temp/test3.csv");
"name,age,sex,height,weight
