Saving

The save command exports the data from the program to files on disk. The command has a few options for file saving.

save <filename> <mode> [--options]

The file saving modes are outlined below.

Batch

save <filename> batch <column>

Argument	Explanation
column	The column is specified in the same manner as for plotting, specifying the x:y columns to be selected.

The result of this command is a file, with the specified name at the location relative to the output directory. The file will contain pairs of columns, two for each file, named x_file1, y_file1, x_file2, y_file2.

Aligned

save <filename> aligned <column> --align <range> <spacing>

Argument	Explanation
column	The column is specified in the same manner as for plotting, specifying the x:y columns to be selected.
--align / -a <range> <spacing>	Contains the interpolation output range, with spacing. The bounds cannot be .., but :. and .: are allowed. See Number and unit specification for the range syntax explanation.

This command is similar to the save batch command, but instead of having pairs of columns, the required data is interpolated over the given range and spacing. The output file has the given x range as the first column, and the other columns are the interpolated y values. The header of each y column is the file name.

Columns

save <filename> columns <column> [column, ...]

Argument	Explanation
column	The column is specified in the same manner as for plotting, specifying the x:y columns to be selected.

This command performs one export per datum, yielding one file each. It aggregates the specified columns in a single file. To save each file with a different file name you can use variables, including them in braces. For example, the filename {.fn}_norm.dat will save each file with its original filename ({.fn}), appending _norm.dat, and out_{.n}.xy will output each file with in order of import ({.n}). In the case of filename collisions, the filename will be modified by appending a progressive number after the extension. The collision is only checked within one call to save columns, so successive calls might overwrite eachother.
