save results table as csv with custom name

[Daniyard]

Dear all,

I am just writing a macro. The purpose is to save multipoint selection coordiantes in a csv file using the name of the image. it dows what I want until the point that it saves either as a fixed name.csv or just as the image title but with no extension. The following macro I used (I found parts of this macro also here in the forum):

run("Measure");
name = getTitle;
dotIndex = indexOf(name, ".");
name = substring(name, 0, dotIndex);
saveAs("Results", getDirectory("home") +name);


Thanks a lot.

Dear Daniyard,

The "getDirectory" command will ask you where you want to save each time, instead of automatically saving to a particular folder.  If this is what you want to do, then this slightly modified version of your code should take care of the saving without an extension problem.


dir = getDirectory("choose where to save");
run("Measure");
name = getTitle;
dotIndex = indexOf(name, ".");
name = substring(name, 0, dotIndex);
saveAs("Results",  dir + name + ".csv");


Hope that at least gets you pointed in the right direction.

Best,
Christine
