Dear all,
 
I am a new user of imageJ and I would like to be able to import multiple text images, and then save then as tiff files.
 
There is a batchimport, but it does not work (It opens the files as text files and not text images) and also if I use the command import raw, it does not give the image I want!
 
Is there any pluggin that would allow for importing as text images and saving in a different format a stack of text files?
 
Thank you,
 
Morgiane Richard

Use the File>Import>Text Image command to open a text image or

     run("Text Image... ", "open=["+path+"]");

in a macro. To batch convert text images to tiff files, use a macro
something like this:

       dir1 = getDirectory("Choose Source Directory ");
       dir2 = getDirectory("Choose Destination Directory ");
       list = getFileList(dir1);
       setBatchMode(true);
       for (i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
           showProgress(i+1, list.length);
           run("Text Image... ", "open=["+dir1+list[i]+"]");
           saveAs("tif", dir2+list[i]);
           close();
       }
