passing an array ,as a string, into a "run" command in macro language

[Gabriel Acevedo]

Hello,
  This may be silly question, but I need help with
creating a macro. I am trying to use the "Substack
Maker"plugin in my macro.

In the macro recorder it shows up as the following:

run("Substack Maker", "slices=1,4,5,6,7,9")

my goal is to run a loop to create the desired list of
numbers in an array, and then use that list for the
slice list.

What I have not been able to do is figure out how to
pass that array into the "run" command above. I tried
various iterations of

run(.....,"slices="+(array name))

but it doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Gabriel

You have to convert the array of numbers into a string. Here is an
example:

      for (i=0; i<arr.length-1; i++)
         str = str + arr[i] + ",";
     str = str + arr[arr.length-1];
     run("Substack Maker", "slices="+str);
