Notes:

From Origin 8.6, minus value is supported in FNameToBkFrom and FNameToBkTo to count the end of the name from the last character of the file name. It can be used to trim the file extension when you rename workbook. For example, if you want to import a EDF data file named sample.edf, you can specify the setting as below to trim the extension ".edf" when renaming the workbook name:

Options.Names.FNameToBkFrom:=1
Options.Names.FNameToBkTo:=-4
