Associate Columns By Name

I got something to work here

 

Solved: Automatically plot associated columns - JMP User Community

 

but I'm pretty sure it's unnecessarily cumbersome.  I have column names ending with the letter H (High) that I need to associate with column names that otherwise match but end with the letter L (Low).  I can create an associative array with the column names having the final character removed.  Snookered as to what to do next?

 

names default to here(1);
dt = Current Data Table();

colList = dt << get column names( string );

for each({col,index}, colList,
	//colList[index] = substr(col,1,3)
	colList[index] = Left(col,Length(col)-1)
);

grps = associative array(colList)<<get keys;

For instance, VT123ABCH needs to plot against VT123ABCL and so forth.

Great script and a lot simpler.  I tweaked it a bit to have all the plots in a "Compilation" window .

 

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Current Data Table();
colNames = dt << get column names( continuous, string );
New Window( "Compilation",
	For Each( {col}, colNames,
		If(
			Starts With( col, "VT" ) & Contains(
				colNames,
				Substr( col, 1, Length( col ) - 1 ) || "H"
			),
			Graph Builder(
				Size( 534, 456 ),
				Show Control Panel( 0 ),
				Variables(
					X( As Column( col ) ),
					Y( As Column( Substr( col, 1, Length( col ) - 1 ) || "L" ) )
				),
				Wrap( :LOT ),
				Elements(
					Points( X, Y, Legend( 1 ) ),
					Line Of Fit( X, Y, Legend( 3 ) )
				)
			)
		)
	)
);
