getting data from a text window

[Christopher Coulon-2]

Is there any way in a macro to get the information in a text window?  For example, I have a text window that has rows and columns just like the Results Table, and I would like to sum the data in one of the columns of the text window just as I would by using

for (i = 0; i < nResults; i++) {
        sum += getResult(“Area”, i);
}

for the Results Table.  Can this be done for a text window?

Hi Chris,

As I understand it you can only use those functions on the table named "Results" so you need to rename your table to "Results" first then you can use the results table functions.

Cheers,

Matt

Not with the same code. The Result windows is an array of cells.
The Text window is not. Renaming won't work.

Perhaps you could save and reload the Text window data and parse its contents
into variables, (lines of text as rows, then parse the column within each
row). In any case not with the code you posted.

Cheers

More details of Gabriel's suggestion is written in my macro textbook

https://github.com/cmci/ij_textbook2/blob/master/CMCImacrocourse.pdf?raw=true

See explanations starting from p96.

cheers,

Thanks Michael and Gabriel.  I have been using a work around by saving the text window as Results and then re-opening it:

        saveAs("Results", resultsDir + name);

        open(resultsDir + name);

and then just using the getResult(“Column”, row) function.  I guess that is the easiest way after all.  

Chris
