Recording results parameters from looped macros

[atjlee]

Hello.

I'm new to ImageJ and am trying to write a macro that will count particles in a ROI.

The specific problem I can't figure out is how to extract information from a results table and record to a separate table, so that as the macro runs on multiple files in a directory, the desired output is recorded in a table against the name of the file.

What I need for each file is for the count column of the summary table to be written into a a table against the file name, and for this result for all files to be written to the same table. I'm not familiar with the syntax for getting data from a table, so i'd be grateful if someone could point me on the right track.

Thanks
Alex

Dear Alex,

If I understand you well you want a results table for each image containing also the summary

Probably the easiest solution is to use

run("Summarize");

after you have created the results table.

Best wishes

Hi Alex,

Have a look at the getResult("Column", row) macro command (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html#G), which enables you to extract values from the results table.
You can then create a new table/text window and write the information that you extracted from the results table to that new table using the two argument version of the print command (print(arg1, arg2) where arg1 is the name of the table and arg2 contains the information that you want to add to that table). There is a nice demo macro on the ImageJ website that illustrates how to use this: http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/macros/TableTricks.txt 

Hope this helps,
Volko
