Macro example error

[AAM71]

Hi,

I am a complete novice to ImageJ and sorry for very stupid question.
I have tried the example in "ImageJ Macro Language" document:

print("[My Window]", "Hello, world");

As I understand it should produce a window titled "My Window" with the
text "Hello, world".
However, ImageJ returns the error Window not found in line 1.

What I am doing wrong?

Sincerely,
Alex

Alex,

the Macro-functions manual says:

"The second argument to print(arg1, arg2) is appended to a text
window or table if the first argument is a window title in brackets,
for example print("[My Window]", "Hello, world")."

Consequently this routines applies to cases where you already have a
text-window open that, in the example, is named My Window.

To test this, you may create an empty text window from the file menu.
Save it and use the file name for the above print routine.

Works for me.

Thank you, HTH!

Unfortunately it did not work for me. I use ImageJ 1.43n on Xp machine.
I have created text file called "My Window.text", opened it in ImageJ,
then created new macro window, pasted
print("[My Window]", "Hello, world")
And it produces the same error: "Window not found in line 1"
The same thing happens with ImageJ 1.43n on MacOS X 10.3.9 machine. So,
it is not something with computers...

Sincerely,
Alex

Perhaps you need to use [My Window.text] instead of [My Window].
What name does it show in the title bar?

Thank you very much, Gabriel!

You are right! Sorry for being so dumb.
