Abstract

This paper presents a program to automatize many repetitive manual tasks needed to analyze data from a chromatography of tea samples. We present and explain the main steps of the code altogether with the process in which how raw data are gradually converted into figures and tables and finally a summarized report with them. Our main object was to enable researches to focus on data interpretation and discussion, then manually copying, pasting, and picking this or that set of data and inserting in this or that software to report and organize results. Our code can do in almost 1 h the amount of laborious work that would take a single researcher a whole week to be done.
