Writing an array to disk

[Douglas Benn-2]

I would be grateful for some help.

I have created a new array with 25,000 cells for storing numbers. I want to
write this array to disk but the saveAs(format,path) macro is expecting an
image or log window to be open. Do I have to print the entire file to the
log window in order to use saveAs(    ) or is there a more direct way of
writing a none-image array to disk?

Thank you.

Hi,
Create a new file using File.open(path).
You can then use the print(file,data) function.
See the print function description at
http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html#print
and the demo macro at http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/macros/SaveTextFileDemo.txt

// writing an array to a file
a = newArray("test",1,2,"end");
dir = getDirectory('home');
name = "yourFile.txt";
file = File.open(dir+name);
for (i=0;i<a.length;i++) print (file,a[i]);
File.close(file);
