3.3.2.54 SaveSave-cmd
Syntax:
Save the current project, window or template to file.
save [option]
| Note:
From Origin 2018 a new set of file formats are introduced and serve as the default formats. The new ones employ Unicode format so have better compatibility with non-English OS. Their file extensions add letter "u" at the end (stands for "Unicode") to distinguish with the old formats, e.g. ".opju" vs. ".opj" for project file format, ".ogwu" vs. ".ogw" for worksheet file format, ".oggu" vs. ".ogg" for graph file format, etc.
Most save command options (exclude those end up with letter "x") will save files to the new format. If you supply a filename with an old format extension in the command, it will be recognized as a wrong extension for the new format and Origin will append the right extension. For example, if you pass an old format extension like this:
save -DI %YMyProject.opj;
the file will be saved as MyProject.opj.opju in User Files folder (UFF). Origin will also append the correct extension if no extension is supplied. To save files in the old format to load them in Origin 2017 and earlier, you will need to
- use a set of command options specified for the old formats, like -dij:
save -DIJ %YMyProject.opj;
See details in -dij, -ij, -ikj, -tj.
Or,
- use the command options end up with letter "x". -dix, -ix and -tx will save a project or window to the format determined by the extension of the supplied file name in the command. For example,
save -DIX %yMyProject.opj;
will save the current project into UFF in name MyPorject.opj.

Options:
no option; Save the current project using the specified path and filename
Syntax: save message
Save the current project using the specified path and filename.
You can specify the path and the file name after the command. For example:
save %Ymyfilename; //save the current project to UFF entitled "myfilename"
-bs; Save the graph window as a bitmap file with the specified dimensions
Syntax: save -bs PlotName FileName Width Height [B]
Save the graph window as a bitmap file with the specified dimensions. If B is included, save as a black-and-white bitmap.
-di/di1; Save the project as fileName
Syntax: save -di fileName or save -di1 fileName
Save the project as fileName. Name is fileName with extension of opju. If you are using an Origin dialog box, save the comments from the Save As dialog box with the project.
-dij; Save the project in .opj format
Syntax: save -dij fileName
Save the project in .opj format (the one loadable in Origin2017 and earlier versions). Name is fileName with extension of opj (old version).
-dix; Save the project in the extension determined by the supplied file name
Syntax: save -dix fileName
Save the project in the extension determined by the supplied file name filename. If fileName doesn't include an extension, Origin will append the extension .opju. For example,
save -DIX %yMyProject.opj; //saves the project in the opj format with the name MyProject.opj
save -DIX %yMyProject.opju; //saves the project in the opju format with the name MyProject.opju
save -DIX %yMyProject; //saves the project in the opju format with the name MyProject.opju.
-i; Save the active worksheet, graph, or matrix window to a file
Syntax: save -i fileName
Save the active worksheet, graph, or matrix window to a file.
Name the file fileName, including the extension: OGWU for worksheet, OGGU for graph, and OGMU for matrix windows. The full path must be includede in fileName.
-iiT; Save the active workbook window to replace all the links with the actual values during saving
Syntax: save -iiT fileName
Save the active workbook window and Name the file fileName and replace all the cell links with the actual values upon saving. The full path must be includede in fileName. For example, the following command will save the active book as BookwithoutLinks.ogwu to UFF, with all the links replaced with their values.
save -iiT %YBookwithoutLinks.ogwu;
-iinT; Save the nth worksheet in the active workbook with all the links replaced with the actual values
Syntax: save -iinT fileName
Save the nth worksheet in the active workbook window as a single file fileName and replace all the cell links with the actual values upon saving. The full path must be includede in fileName. For example, the following command will save the second layer of the active book as BookwithoutLinks.ogwu to UFF, with all the links replaced with their values.
save -ii2T %YBookwithoutLinks.ogwu;
-ij; Save the active worksheet, graph, or matrix window to a file of old format
Syntax: save -ij fileName
Save the active worksheet, graph, or matrix window to a file of the old format, the one loadable in Origin 2017 and earlier versions. The extension of the saved file: OGW for worksheet, OGG for graph, and OGM for matrix windows. See details in Notes above.
-ik; Save the active workbook as an analysis template
Syntax: save -ik fileName
Save the active workbook as an analysis template, and the data in the workbook will be cleared up. Name the file fileName with the extension of OGWU. You can include the full path with fileName. Otherwise, the analysis template is saved to UFF directory.
-ix; Save the active window in the extension determined by the supplied file name
Syntax: save -ix fileName
Save the active window in the extension determined by the supplied file name filename. If fileName doesn't include an extension, Origin will append the correct extension. That is, if the current window is a workbook, it will then be saved in ogwu format; a graph window will be saved in oggu format; a matrix window will be saved in ogmu format. For example,
save -IX %YMyBook.ogw; //saves the active workbook in the opj format with the name MyBook.ogw
save -IX %YMyBook.ogwu; //saves the active workbook in the opju format with the name MyBook.ogwu
save -IX %YMyBook; //saves the active workbook in the opju format with the name MyBook.ogwu
save -IX %YMyGraph.ogg; //saves the active graph in the opj format with the name MyGraph.ogg
save -IX %YMyMatrix.ogmu; //saves the active matrixbook in the opju format with the name MyMatrix.ogmu
-n; Save the winName notes window to a file
Syntax: save -n winName fileName
Save the winName notes window to a file.
Name the file fileName with the TXT extension. You can include the full path with fileName. Otherwise, the file is saved to the UFF directory.
-t; Save windowName into a graph or worksheet template
Syntax: save -t windowName fileName
Save windowName into a graph or worksheet template, including the extension: OTPU for graph, and OTWU for worksheet.
You can include the full path with fileName. Otherwise, the file is saved to the UFF directory. The %Y Register String Variable substitutes for the full path to UFF.
-tj; Save windowName into a graph or worksheet template of the old format
Syntax: save -tj windowName fileName
