Experiment Name
Context: I often export waves from one packed experiment file to another where each experiment file represents a different level of data processing. I would like to add a wave note to my waves as I export them that includes the name of the original experiment file in which the wave was created in.
Q: How does one programmatically return a string containing the current Igor experiment's name?
Seems like a simple thing, but I couldn't find it in the documentation.
Use IgorInfo(1). That gives you the file name of the experiment. If you need the full path, you can use PathInfo home and read the S_Path output variable to get the disk path of the directory in which the experiment is located.

IgorInfo(1) returns the name of the current experiment.
