Open files from same directory for Workflow

Gab_K — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 20:01:35 GMT

Hello Community,

I only just recently started working with JMP Workflows and JSL Scripts and was wondering to create something in code to achieve the following:

- The goal is to move a workflow (copy/paste) to a specific folder, where other files like .xlsx and .csv are located. The designed script should then open a specific .csv file from within the same folder the script or workflow is located -

So for short: any ideas on how I can get the file path from the same directory the script is located in and run from? And how could I solve the idea of moving around the workflow around, keeping in mind that people will forget to delete the script after they used it?

Thanks for any advice!

I would also like to know if there is an easy solution to reference the current directory that the workflow is in.

What I do in the meantime is use the code below. Every time the workflow runs a window opens which allows the user to select the folder the data is in, this is saved to the dir variable. I then make the dfolder and xpath variables that are used in subsequent file import steps.

dir = Pick Directory( "Choose the folder for the report" );
dfolder = dir || "Test files and jmp workflow\";
xpath = dir || "Process details and tracking.xlsx";
