How to obtain daily build version

[vischer]

Hello,

I need to make sure that IJ version is >= "1.46n13".

Although "About ImageJ" shows "1.46n13", version returns "1.46n".
Is there a way to extract "1.46n13" ?

regards,
Norbert Vischer

I believe it is the same in this situation.  "Version" is just giving you less information than "About ImageJ".

Hi Norbert,

you can use the following:
  ImageJ imageJ = IJ.getInstance();
imageJ.VERSION then gives you "1.46n"
imageJ.BUILD gives you "13", you have to parse it into an int and do a numeric comparison.

Hello Michael,

thanks for this useful tip!
I managed to get what I want, although somewhat awkward as eval does not give me a return value, so I used the log window. Wayne, perhaps there will be a getVersion("build") command in future?

print("\\Clear");
eval("script", "IJ.getInstance().BUILD");
build = getInfo("log");
buildVersion = getVersion + IJ.pad(parseInt(build), 2);
print("\\Clear");
print("buildVersion =", buildVersion);

output:
=======
buildVersion = 1.46n13


best regards, Norbert
