Using a string list to name graph objects

[Elderfield.A]

Hi,

I am using a string list to name the variables in a graph, I want be call them different names to their variable names and these names will have spaces in them:

Code: Select all

for !h =1 to chart1.@count  ' this is a group of variables
      %4 = @wordq(%labels, !h)  ' this is my string list - it looks like this  %labels = """name one"" ""name two"""
      graph_one.name({!h}) %4   ' this is changing the name in the graph to the one in the list
   next

But when the graph is generated, the name object name has quotations marks around it - "name one".

Would be great to remove these quotation marks.

Thanks

Adam

Thanks for the response Gareth, this was the first thing that I tried and was still not able to achieve the desired outcome. Any other suggestions? A couple of further points may be useful:

1) when I type in the name I don't get the issue:

Code: Select all

graph_one.name({!h}) name one

But this is not an option (to manually name each series) as this bit of code forms part of a subrountine that I can call quickly and easily make charts that formatted to my liking, and data labeled how I like.

2) when giving a chart a heading using the same approach using the graph.addtext command, I don't have the issue.

Grateful for your assistance.

Code: Select all

%4 = @stripquotes(%4)
graph_one.name(!h) {%4}

Thanks Gareth - that did the trick.
