Retrieve MD5-hash in macro

[Ingo Bartholomaeus]

Hi,

is there a way (e.g. using eval()) to retrieve the MD5-hash (or SHA-1) of a given string using the macro language?

Regards,
Ingo

Ingo,

depending on your OS you may try use an UNIX shellscript (e.g.
md5sum) that you properly call by the IJ-macro routine:

        exec( "sh", "-c", YourShellScriptCommand );

See IJ-macro examples "ExecExamples.txt".

You have two options: resort to Javascript and using
java.security.MessageDigest or reimplementing the algorithm in the macro
language (e.g. by converting a Javascript implementation like this:
