Image file names with spaces

[Sho Fujisawa]

Dear list -

I'm writing a macro that opens images in a directory using "Bio-Formats Importer"

I've realized, however, that when I run the macro, it fails to open files with spaces in it (e.g. "M02 pre_M02 pre Area 04.tif").

But if I manually open the exact same image by going to "Plugins->LOCI->Bio-Formats Importer", the file opens fine.

It seems that when I ask to open list[i] in the macro, it thinks the space denotes the end of the filename.

Is this a bug? How can I get around this issue?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Sho,

Did you try enclosing your file name in square brackets ("[" and "]"
characters)?
