Passing variables to run("Make Substack..."

[Ethan Cohen]

I have a loop where I call Make Substack to process a select group of frames from a single stack array.

So looking at https://imagej.net/Introduction_into_Macro_Programming#Using_variables

I want to pass two integer variables pointing at the parts of the array to make the substack, lets call them J, K.

Macro Recorder:

run("Make Substack...", "  slices=1-8"); //Manually this works

run("Make Substack...", "slices=J-K"); // Nope This method works for some plug-ins but not this one.

run("Make Substack...", "slices= J" - "K"); //Nope

run("Make Substack...", "slices=J"<->"K"); //Nope

run("Make Substack...", "slices=J"-"K"); //Nope

run("Make Substack...", "slices= [+J+] - [+K+] ");  //Nope

run("Make Substack...", "slices="J" - "K" ");  //Nope

Suggestions.

Ethan,
Try the following.
run("Make Substack...", "slices="+J+"-"+K);

best,
