running a plugin from a macro

[chris elliott]

Hi, I'm not sure about passing the path to a plugin:

the macrorecorder gives this:
run("MTrack2 ", "minimum=1 maximum=999999 maximum_=10 minimum_=2 save
save=Q:\\Julia_rpt\\marina\\binary\\trackresults.txt");

but when i run it with
run("MTrack2 ", "minimum=6 maximum=999999 maximum_=10 minimum_=2 save
save=&path4");

debugger says the path is (as expected):
path4    "Q:\Julia_rpt\marina\binary\HL3 30' 1 uncomp.xls"

I get an error:
';' expected in line 24
<run> ("MTrack2 ", "minimum=6 maximum=999999 maximum_=10 minimum_=2 save
save=&path4");

I noted wayne's suggestion for run("AVI... ", "compression=Uncompressed
frame=0.1 save=&path2"); which works fine (2 lines above)
Is there a better way to pass the path for the output file for Mtrack2?

What about the single quote >'< in path4?

I would say (but I am not sure) the reason for that problem is the
parameters should not contain any space, since path4 contains several
space in between, you can try a file name without a space.

Yep, respectively, can put even if I think that the singel >'< causes the
problem with the apparently missing ";", it is also true that you cannot
simply have several "xxx=..." parameters and spaces,
it will not be able to tell what goes where, however, IIRC you CAN put
parameter strings with spaces in "[]" brackets, I seem to remember that´s
what the macro recorder does, try to play around a bit!

Thanks, but Wayne's message pointed me in the right direction, it was a
missing ; on the preceding line that gave the error, imagej was quite
happy with the proposed filename
