import results table

Massimiliano Baldassarre
Hi guys,

I just updated my ImageJ to the 1.44d and I'm trying to import a  
previous saved results table. I use the File  > Import > Results...  
menu and works just fine, but when I tried to record this command in a  
macro the recorder give me " open ("path/my file.txt) "  and if I use  
this in a macro (obviously) it just open the text file.

Off course I can import the results writing another marco (or  
function, I think there are already few out there) but I'm pretty sure  
that I used this command in older macros so I would like to know if it  
is just a bug in the new release. Any one have any advice.

Thanks a lot

Max

I am unable to reproduce this problem. I get

   run("Results... ", "open=/Users/wayne/Results.txt");

when I record File>Import>Results in ImageJ 1.44d. One work around would be to save tables using an ".xls" (tab-delimited text) or .csv (comma separated values) extension, in which case the open() function will open the file in the Results table. You can make either of these extensions the default in the Edit>Options>Input/Output dialog box.

Hi Wayne,

This is weird, I'm using a Mac with a OS X 10.5.8 may be is OS  
related. ( I just double checked it I'm still getting "open (path...)  
". Moreover If I try to open my file calling run("Results... ",  
"mypath/myfile.txt") it does not work.


In any case thanks a lot for your suggestion, I just changed the  
extension from .txt to .xls and it works perfectly.
