FIJI macro function "split" not working

[Kaiming Yin]

Dear there,

I was running FIJI on my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop and found the macro function
"split" seemed to be not working anymore. For example, in a new macro, I
wrote:

a = "ImageJ v1.52e \n Ubuntu 18.04";
write(a);
b = split(a, " ");
write(b);

write(a) worked well but write(b) ended up with an error report and debug
window shown as below:

a    *    "ImageJ v1.52e  |  Ubuntu 18.04"
b    *    array[5]

---        ---
Error:        '[' or '.' expected in line 5:
        write ( b <)> ;

Can I ask what can I do to fix my scripts please?

Thanks,
Kaiming

The split() function returns an array. This example shows how to print the elements of an array:

   a = "ImageJ v1.52e Ubuntu 18.04";
   print(a);
   b = split(a, " ");
   for (i=0; i<b.length; i++)
      print(i, b[i]);

This is the output:

   ImageJ v1.52e Ubuntu 18.04
   0 ImageJ
   1 v1.52e
   2 Ubuntu
   3 18.04
