question why getResult("Label",i) returns NaN instead of string

[Cammer, Michael-3]

Would somebody please help regarding whether this is a bug or I am coding this macro incorrectly?

When I try to use getResult("Label", i), the result is NaN.

For instance,

labels = newArray(nResults);
for (i=0; i<nResults; i++) {
labels[i] = getResult("Label", i);
redmeans[i] = getResult("Mean", i);
}  // end get red intensitites

correctly puts the red intensities in an array but the labels array is all NaN.  I also tried a = getResult("Label", i) and a is assigned NaN.

Example Results table data:

Label Area Mean
1 C2-_test_90_IFN_01-1:0001-0007 0.83 15.69
2 C2-_test_90_IFN_01-1:0002-0011 2.19 11.90
3 C2-_test_90_IFN_01-1:0003-0010 0.71 13.19
4 C2-_test_90_IFN_01-1:0004-0020 1.28 11.65

I can get the ROI names from the ROI Manager instead, but curious why this does not work.


Thank you!

You have to use getResultString("Label",i) to get strings from the Label column.
