@txnelson thank you very much!

Re: How to export column data to string or txt

Names Default To Here( 1 );

dt = Current Data Table( );
// Stop the script if no open data tables
If( Is Empty( dt ), Stop());
// Make list of column names
colNames = dt << get column names();
// Select the column
nw = New Window("Column names", <<MODAL></MODAL>

Re: How to export column data to string or txt

@txnelson ,thank you very much for reply. it really works.

 I am new JSLer. I have to seek for your help here: How can I use the selected column to replace "dt:number"  in following JSL? 

Names Default To Here( 1 );

dt = Current Data Table( );
// Stop the script if no open data tables
If( Is Empty( dt ), Stop());
// Make list of column names
colNames = dt << get column names();
// Select the column
nw = New Window("Column names", <<MODAL></MODAL>

 

 

 

Re: How to export column data to string or txt

Here is one way to do it

Names Default To Here( 1 );
// Create an example data table
dt = New Table( "Example",
	add rows( 100 ),
	New Column( "Number", character, set each value( Char( Random Integer( 1000, 9999 ) ) ) )
);

// Convert character column to a literal string value
string = Concat Items( dt:number[Index( 1, N Rows( dt ) )], "," );

// Write the string variable to a .txt file
Save Text File( "$TEMP/savedfile.txt", string );
