merge channels within a macro

[Nilwik Rachel (BW)]

Hi all,

I am analysing 4-channel microscopic recordings, in which every channel is saved as a separate image.
I would like to incorporate the Merge Channels function into the macro, and I have tried doing this by macro recording. What I get is this:

run("Merge Channels...", "c1=recording1-0003 c2=recording1-0002 c3=recording1-0001 c4=recording1-0004 create keep")

The 'recording1' part in this rule represent the current image name, the numbers represent the channels.
Of course, when running a macro, I would like it to be applicable to any file, not only the one I was using now... but I do want it to keep using the '-0001' etc extensions for directing every channel to the correct colour in the merged image.

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Thank you very much in advance,
Rachel Nilwik

Hello Rachel,

  You can use getInfo function to get the name of active image, like below


  name=getInfo("image.filename");

  run("Merge Channels...", "c1="+name+"-0003 c2="+name+"-0002 c3="+name+"-0001 c4="+name+"-0004 create keep")
