Writing to clipboard

[Jung Hoon Shin]

Dear All,

I am trying to selectively copy one column from Results Window without the
index column into the system clipboard.  I think I can define an array in
macro and assign values from Result Window using getResult("Column", row),
but I could not find a way to copy the values from the array to the system
clipboard.  Thanks in advance for your help.

You will be able to do this in ImageJ 1.38r, due next week.

Here is an example that copies the "Area" column to the system
clipboard:

    String.resetBuffer;
    for (i=0; i<nResults; i++)
        String.append(getResult("Area", i) + "\n");
    String.copy(String.buffer);

ImageJ 1.38r adds six macro functions that do string buffering and copy
strings to and from the clipboard:

    String.resetBuffer - Resets (clears) the buffer.
    String.append(str) - Appends str to the buffer.
    String.buffer - Returns the contents of the buffer.
    String.copy(str) - Copies str to the clipboard.
    String.copyResults - Copies the Results table to the clipboard.
    String.paste - Returns the contents of the clipboard.
