I have a script that prompts the user to select a txt file then it takes the data from the txt file and puts it into a JMP data table, does some modifications, and creates an overlay plot. I have attached the portion of the script that finds the file then imports the data. The last thing I want the script to do is to save the data table and the overlay plot to the save location where the original txt file was located, but I can't figure out how to make it work.
Thank you for your help! Your solution worked perfectly in my script!
Below is an example script that approximates your script, and saves the data table and the report output. I used the Big Class data table from the $SAMPLE_DATA folder, and saved it as a txt file.
Names Default To Here( 1 );
filepath = Pick File( "Select Source Data File", "$DESKTOP", {"txt files|txt"} );
dt = Open( filepath );
// Run the Plot, adding a pointer to it, so you can manipulate it later
op = Overlay Plot( X( :age ), Y( :height, :weight ), Y Scale( Left, Right ) );
// Determine the directory to write to
ThePath = Substr( filepath, 1, Contains( filepath, Word( -1, filepath, "/" ) ) - 1 );
// Save the data table
dt << save as( ThePath || "New Data Table.jmp" );
// Save the output. Here is a jpeg version, but other output
// options are available. Go to Help==>Scripting Index
// for additional options
Report( op ) << save picture( ThePath || "The Report.jpg" );
