Table of Contents
| Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| InputWorkspace | Input | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | The name of the workspace containing the data you want to save to a Ascii file. |
| Filename | Input | string | Mandatory | The filename of the output Ascii file. Allowed extensions: [‘.dat’, ‘.txt’, ‘.csv’] |
| WorkspaceIndexMin | Input | number | 0 | The starting workspace index. |
| WorkspaceIndexMax | Input | number | Optional | The ending workspace index. |
| SpectrumList | Input | int list | List of workspace indices to save. | |
| Precision | Input | number | Optional | Precision of output double values. |
| WriteXError | Input | boolean | False | If true, the error on X will be written as the fourth column. |
| CommentIndicator | Input | string | Character(s) to put in front of comment lines. | |
| Separator | Input | string | CSV | Character(s) to put as separator between X, Y, E values. Allowed values: [‘CSV’, ‘Tab’, ‘Space’, ‘Colon’, ‘SemiColon’, ‘UserDefined’] |
| CustomSeparator | Input | string | If present, will override any specified choice given to Separator. | |
| ColumnHeader | Input | boolean | True | If true, put column headers into file. |
| ICEFormat | Input | boolean | False | If true, special column headers for ICE in file. |
The workspace data are stored in the file in columns: the first column contains the X-values, followed by pairs of Y and E values. Columns are separated by commas. The resulting file can normally be loaded into a workspace by the LoadAscii v2 algorithm.
The algorithm assumes that the workspace has common X values for all spectra (i.e. is not a ragged workspace). Only the X values from the first spectrum in the workspace are saved out.
