calling a macro within another macro

[Agustin Lobo]

I've created a macro that applies a set of processes to an image and now want
to apply this macro to a set of images within a loop. For this I have to
make a list and pass the name of each image to
the macro. No problem with the loop and with the list, but
have problems at actually passing the name as an argument.

To make a simpler example on how to run a macro using
variable arguments, I've done the following:
var s = "a string";
macro "Hola" {
//s = getString("Enter a String:", s);
print(s);
}
run("Hola","s= "+"Hola1");

My idea was that, after saving as "Holas.ijm" and  Ctrl-I, I could
just select and run
with Ctrl-Shift-R from within the editor
run("Hola","s= "+"Hola1");

and I would get "Hola1" in the Log window.
Nevertheless, I get "a string"

what am I doing wrong? why is my s argument in the call being ignored?

Thanks

Agus

Hi,

I think you should use :
runMacro(macroName)
and getArgument()

for your example something like this:

s=getArgument();
//s = getString("Enter a String:", s);
print(s);

you save his as "Hola.ijm" in the macro folder

and from another macro:
runMacro("Hola", "hola1");

this works for me.

cheers,
