Saving the results

Data may be written to files, which can contain many spectra, or saved temporarily in storage registers, each of which contains only one spectrum.

To write data to a file, first open one:

$\gt\!\gt$ o-fil

and tell SPECX the file name etc. Each file can be addressed by its name, or a number. A file name has by default the filetype .sdf, which will be added to whatever name you give. Several files may be open at once. To discover a file's number (you will need this) type:

$\gt\!\gt$ l-o-f

Then, to write the current data (that seen with the n command) to (say) file 2 type:

$\gt\!\gt$ wr-sp 2

The data are stored in the next available space.

To list the contents of a file type:

$\gt\!\gt$ ind-fil

and answer the questions.

To save the current data in a temporary storage register, type, e.g.:

$\gt\!\gt$ st-sp 3
