Define strings in TOPAS

hanna

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to define strings in TOPAS, such that I can define the filename at the top of the input file and call that string when I output xdd_out and phase_out? Basically, in python notation it would look like

filename='nameofmyfile'
xdd filename+'.dat'
...
xdd_out filename+'_phases.txt'
...
phase_out filename+'_hkl.txt'
...

Thanks,
Hanna
