I'm trying to append a number to the end of every element in a text wave using the commands:

NVAR v_FileNumber
duplicate /o Runs, w_Runs
w_Runs += num2str(v_FileNumber)

This works all fine from the Command Window but when used in a function I get an unknown/inappropriate name or symbol.

Any help would be appreciated.

awirsing

You have to tell Igor explicitly that you deal with text waves:

function appendFileNumber()

    wave/T Runs

    NVAR v_FileNumber

    duplicate/O/T Runs, w_Runs

    w_Runs += num2str(v_FileNumber)

end
