"Image Sequence..." in a macro?

[Bill Mohler]

I am trying to save a stack as an Image Sequence of TIFFS in a macro that
loops through a whole folder of stacks.

Currently my problem seems to be that the macro interpreter does not like
the syntax that the macro recorder creates for the Image Sequence
command.  Below is what I recorded with the recorder.  When I use the
exact same line in my macro, I get an error saying that a "," or ")" are
expected in this line.        

run("Image Sequence... ", "format=TIFF name=X0000L start=0 digits=2 save=
[C:\\Documents and Settings\\leica\\Escritorio\\USUARIOS\\Laboratorio 3
\\WA OUT\\IJ-MACRO-OUT\\X0000L00.tif] save=[C:\\Documents and
Settings\\leica\\Escritorio\\USUARIOS\\Laboratorio 3\\WA OUT\\IJ-MACRO-
OUT\\X0000L00.tif]");


Can anyone help me with how to get the right syntax?  Once I understand
it, I hope to substitute parts of the parameter string with variables
calculated during my loop.  But if I don´t even know the right syntax, I
can´t get started!

It works fine (with imagej 1.41b) if I remove the line-breaks.

In my code there aren't any line-breaks.  It's all on one line.

I'm on version 1.40g on Windows.

Still doesn't work.

I tried with 1.40g and for me it still works. I changed the path a bit
since your path doesn't exist on my machine. Can you try to copy and run
the following:

run("Image Sequence... ", "format=TIFF name=X0000L start=0 digits=2
save=[C:\\Documents and Settings\\X0000L00.tif]");

(remove the line-breaks that the email client might add)

By the way your command contains the save=... part two times. But it
works even with this.

Hmmm...

Hmm.  I noticed the doubled save command, too.
For some reason, this is what comes out of the
macro recorder.  Is it not necessary?

Maybe too long a path, or a doubled-up path cause the line to be misread?

Is there a limit to the length of a line of code in a macro?

Thanks,
Bill
