Get the values from a non-system Results Table

[lechristophe]

Hi,

I'd like to process the Results Table output at the end of a plugin,
i.e. launch a script that would get the values in this displayed Table
after the plugin has finished. However, this Table is not the System
Results Table, so the ResultsTable.getResultsTable() static method
does not work. How can I do that? Is there something that would grab
the content of a text table and create a Results Table object from it?

Thanks,

Christophe

Save the table and re-import it in to the real Results table.
Or maybe you can copy it all, parse the cell entries and put it in the real
RT.

Here is JavaScript code that creates a results table named "Sine/Cosine Table":

   rt = new ResultsTable();
   for (n=0; n<=2*Math.PI; n += 0.1) {
      rt.incrementCounter();
      rt.addValue("n", n);
      rt.addValue("Sine(n)", Math.sin(n));
      rt.addValue("Cos(n)", Math.cos(n));
   }
   rt.showRowNumbers(false);
   rt.show("Sine/Cosine Table");

And here is JavaScript code that gets that table's ResultsTable:

   window = WindowManager.getFrame("Sine/Cosine Table");
   if (window!=null) {
      rt = window.getTextPanel().getResultsTable();
   }

This is what it looks like in Java:

   Frame window = WindowManager.getFrame("Sine/Cosine Table");
   if (window ==null) return;
   ResultsTable rt = ((TextWindow)window).getTextPanel().getResultsTable();
