Loading/Importing Results table bug?

[Gabriel Landini]

Hi
If I do this to import a Results table into the current one (I want to
overwrite it):

myResults="TempResults.txt";
ijdir = getDirectory("imagej");
saveAs("Results", ijdir + myResults);

// the above saves it OK
// next the on screen table would be changed, although not in this macro
wait(2000);

// now I want to re-load the table I saved before.

run("Results...", "open="+ ijdir + myResults);
It asks me to save a file rather to load the one specified.

That does not seem correct.

And, more important, is there a way of loading the saved results table
silently?

Many thanks

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

for importing, you should have
  run("Results... ", "open="+ ijdir + myResults);

Mind the space after the dots!
Without the space, it is the File>Save As>Results... command.

There are quite a few ImageJ commands where a single space makes a difference, especially in the File>Import and File>Save As menus, but also Process>Batch>Macro and Process>Math Macro, etc.

Hi Michael, thanks so much for spotting that invisible typo. :-)

Although that was my error, I still seem to have a problem with the imported
Result Table.

A macro I wrote some time ago to do morphological clustering stopped working
when using the principal components as parameters.
Not exactly sure what it is, but it seems that the imported Results data are
not really there, even if I can see them in the table window. It looks like if
the macro does not see the data in the table after computing the PCs  and
adding them to the table.
I will have to look a bit more in detail to find out what exactly is
happening, so I might be back on this.

Thanks again

Gabriel
