Saving a Max Value to a Python Script

Question

I have a Column of Max Ic's, but need to output the max to a Python Script that runs a fitting algorithm to it! Any ideas about how to fix my (newbie) mistake?

Thanks for all the help!

Column2 = column(dt,"Max Ic (mA)");
MaxIc = Col Max(Column2);
Save Text File("$DataExtraction.py", str(MaxIc), Mode("Append") );

You didn't say what was wrong, but I'll make a guess: The python script in $DataExtraction.py no longer runs because it has a bunch of numbers appended to the end that don't look like valid Python.

Maybe you want to write a CSV file from JMP and have the Python program read that (using Python's CSV library.) Or, if it really is only a single number, write that number to a separate .txt file and read that back in in the Python program.

I don't think you want JMP appending data to the end of a .py file.

Or, maybe something else is wrong. Be sure to check the JMP Log window for messages.
