Remove columns from a table

[#1]

Hi everybody,

I need to export several tables (txt files containing 20 columns) under JMP, but only 10 columns are useful for my use.

How can I include in a script the deleting of specified columns? I have attached one example file: (1) the txt source (2) the JMP version with all columns (3) the final JMP version with 10 columns.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Here is the very simple script to delete the unwanted columns.

names default to here(1);
dt=current data table();
dt << delete columns("I-delai", "I-durée", "I-pos", 
	"R-delai", "N°-Rec", "E-durée", "TR-max", "TM-max", 
	"code-PP", "cod-R-d");

The details are covered in the scripting index

To get started with scripting, I suggest you read the Scripting Guide

Thanks txnelson,

You're absolutely right, the solutions (at least the simple ones) are in the scripting guide. We're always in a hurry to take the time to check it out.

All works well.

Have a good day

Paul
