Macro to browse for a file name

[Jon Harman-3]

Hi,

I am not used to writing macros and am having a hard time figuring out
how to do this:

I want to write a macro to import some raw data.  It will use the line:


run("Raw...", "open=filename image=[24-bit RGB] width=360 height=240
offset=0 number=1 gap=0 little-endian");


Is there a macro function to browse for a file that returns the file
name, but does not open it.  I want to let the user browse for the
filename above.

Thanks for any help.

Jon

Hi Jon,

Check out the File.openDialog(title) function.** Something like:

path = File.openDialog("Choose a File");
run("Raw...", "open=["+path+"] image=[24-bit RGB] width=360 height=240
offset=0 number=1 gap=0 little-endian");

Hi Jon,

totally easy, just use the same command, but use "open= " without any
filename, the browser will appear!!!
