-b

Syntax: worksheet -b winName [TemplateName]

Get the first worksheet that begins with winName.

1. If the named window can be found, TemplateName will be ignored.
2. If the TemplateName is omitted, winName will be regarded as template name too.
3. If the named window cannot be found, look for a template file called TemplateName and open that.
4. If no template file is found, open ORIGIN.OTW.
5. If ORIGIN.OTW is not found, create a window from scratch, name it winName, and enumerate it.

//Create three workbooks named "Book1", "Test1" and "Test2", active "Test1"
worksheet -b book1; //Workbook book1 is activated.
worksheet -b t; //Workbook Test1 is activated.
worksheet -b AA; //A new workbook named "AA" is created and activated.

-crr

Syntax: worksheet -crr

Clear the old banded row format (by filling cell background color) in table (worksheet table or intermediate table inserted in Graph window).

//   worksheet -c;
//   nn=wks.ncols;
//   wcol(nn)=data(1,10);
//Press "Update" button
worksheet -dr Test; //A new workbook named "Test" is created and has three columns
                    //with Col(C)={1,2,...,10}

-es

Syntax: worksheet -es

Reset worksheet range selection behavior when selection fails:
Occasionally, for reasons not fully understood, range selection in the worksheet becomes disabled. The user is not able to highlight a column by double-clicking on a column header nor is the user able to select a range of cells in the worksheet. Opening the Script Window (Window: Script Window) and running the following command with the problem worksheet active, should correct the problem and restore correct selection behavior.

Beginning with Origin 2018b, this command runs on loading a previously-saved window or project, and should prevent the problem from occurring.

-fp

Syntax: worksheet -fp

Toggle frozen panes set by GUI or by wks.frozen$.

work -fp; // toggle frozen panes on
work -fp 0; // toggle frozen panes off

wo -gd pb -ir 12;//insert at row 12
//to move a break at known location
wo -gd pb -mr 12 14;//move from row 12 to row 14

-rr

With a report sheet active, run this command to recover the ranges with empty UID data reference in report sheets

-rri

Syntax: worksheet -rri

With a report sheet active, run this command to recover the ranges with empty UID data reference in report sheets, plus recover also the inputs of operations whose output is found in the same sheet (it is not always reliable because it involves some guessing).

-s

Set the specified range to be the current worksheet selection. To select entire columns, set r1 and r2 to zero. To select entire rows, set c1 and c2 to zero. If range is not specified, deselect all.

The next script sets the selection range in the data1 worksheet and plots this data into the scatter graph template. The script then sets a new selection range in the worksheet and plots the data into a second graph window.

win -a data1;  //activate data1
worksheet -s 2 0 2 0;  //select column 2
worksheet -p 201 scatter;  //plot into scatter template
win -a data1;  //re-activate data1
worksheet -s 3 0 3 0;  //select column 3
worksheet -p 201 scatter;  //plot into scatter template

-scf

Syntax: worksheet -scf [FILTERSTYLE]

Clear specified cell formats FILTERSTYLE of the selected range(s). If no FILTERSTYLE is specified, all formats will be cleared. The FILTERSTYLE list can be found in oc_const.h flie (which locates in <exe folder>/OriginC/system/). The number indexes from 0.
