OFILE= report output file

 

A. Output Tables requested from the Output Tables menu are displayed in temporary files. These can be "Saved As" permanent files.

 

B. Output Tables can be requested in the control file or at the Extra Specifications prompt using TABLES= or TFILE=. These are output to a report file.

 

1) if no report output file is specified, then the tables are output to a temporary file which is displayed after the analysis phase is completed.

 

2) if a report output file is specified when Winsteps is launched interactively, then the tables are output to the specified file which is displayed after the analysis phase is completed.

 

3) if a report output file is specified when Winsteps is launched in Batch mode, then the tables are output to the specified file.

 

4) report output files can be specified in the control file or at the Extra Specifications prompt using OFILE=. These can be displayed from the Edit menu. When Winsteps is launched interactively, the last output report file containing a Table is displayed.

 

 

 

Example 1: Winsteps is launched interactively, but we want the Output Tables to be written to file "mytables.txt". Press enter when Winsteps asks for a Report Output file name.

 

TITLE="My analysis"

TABLES=1110110101

OFILE=mytables.txt

.....

 

Example 2: We want Winsteps to analyze the data once, but produce the same Output Tables twice in different scaling written to the same report output files:

 

TITLE="My analysis"

TFILE=*

OFILE="mytable1s.txt"

       UMEAN=500 ; item mean calibration
USCALE=100 ; value of 1 logit
MRANGE=250 ; to be plotted each way from UMEAN=

1 ; Table 1

       UMEAN=0 ; item mean calibration
USCALE=1 ; value of 1 logit
MRANGE=5 ; to be plotted each way from UMEAN=

1 ; Table 1 again

*

 

Example 3: output a Wright Map to HTML:

 

Tables=0111

TFILE=*

Header=No

OFILE=table1.0.htm

1.0

OFILE=myoutputfile.txt

Header = Yes
