Fail to save picture in jsl

[#1]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to script some codes to save all my plots as pictures. 

gb << Save Picture( "D:\Document\Variability\" || colList[i] ||".jpg", JPEG );

But I noticed that on those graphs with the header name with "/" in between the name (parameter name like "Win_A/FRP_Thickness"), JMP will prompt an error to tell me that the figures failed to save as pictures in my folder and the whole operation would then be aborted. 

Could I seek advice on how should I improve this ?

Thank you...

First note that JMP doesn't mind whether your path specification uses forward or backward slashes.   Therefore you are specifying a path that looks like this:

D:\Document\Variability\Win_A\FRP_Thickness.jpg

which fails because Win_A is being interpreted as a folder and not as part of the name of the file.

Before doing the save you might want to create a friendly file name e.g.

cname = Substitute(colList[i],"\","_");
path = "D:\Document\Variability\"  || cname || ".jpg";
gb << Save Picture(path,JPEG);

Couldn't agree more ! Thanks for the suggestion, David
