open files error

[vivace219]

Hi. I'm currently trying to write a macros script for Image J that would read the .rawl files for each folder. The code is below.

file1head = "K:\\MicroCT Images\\5-25-09\\C00";

print("i'm the new head "+file1head);
file1tail = ".0000.rawl image=[16-bit Signed] width=512 height=512 offset=0 number=1 gap=0 little-endian open";
starter = 2522;
numFiles = 5;

for(i = 0; i < numFiles; i++){
counter =starter+i;
recounter = toString(counter);
print(recounter);
file1 = file1head+counter+"\\C00"+counter+file1tail;
print(file1);
filechecker = file1head+counter+"\\C00"+counter+".0000.rawl";

tempend = "C:\\Users\\yl49\\Desktop\\temp\\C00";
print("i'm here"+filechecker);
if(File.exists(filechecker)){
        print("i got in"+file1);
        run("Raw...", "open="+file1);
        run("Brightness/Contrast...");
        setMinAndMax(-988, 2136);
        file2 = file1head+counter+".tif";
        tempfile = tempend +counter+".tif";
        print(file2);
        run("Save", "save="+tempfile);
        close();
}

else{
        print("This folder's empty! No starter file! Check Folder!");
}

}




The problem i'm seeing with this code is that when attempting to open the specified file, it also attempts to open other folders that were included in the main K:\\ directory. Then my results show a stack of only 4 images that are of very blurry and messed up material and don't show anything at all. I'm not sure what's wrong with the opening of the files. Can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks!

I think the space is the culprit.  You need to enclose filename in
brackets just like you did it with the type parameter:

> file1tail = ".0000.rawl image=[16-bit Signed] width=512 height=512 offset=0

Hi Thanks. Actually I just changed the file name to get rid of the space in "MicroCT Images." However, does anyone know if you make comments in the image j macros editing interface? I'd like to have some of the print statements I wrote to continue to exist but just be commented out so they won't run unless I decide to un-comment them and run them. Thanks.

Hi,

it's like in Java or C++:

You can use double slashes for comments:  // a comment till the end  
of the line
An alternative is: /* also a comment */

Funny that I did not find this in the documentation on the ImageJ web  
site.
