souce directory code for writing macro

[Teresa W]

I want to embed a generic definition for the image dir for saving files etc, inside a macro.

saveAs("Tiff", "D:\\Aug 2009\\Channa NReconB\\Colour.tif");

ie D:\\Aug 2009\\Channa NReconB, replaced by a generic term for the image dir last opened. Trolling thru the macros command library has not thrown up anything I can understand.

Thanks, Teresa

Hi,

Perhaps you are looking for ...

        sourceDir = File.directory();

You can call this after opening an image.  Is that what you mean by  
"the image dir last opened"?

Hi Ben, could you show me how to embed this? Is this a line that goes at the start of the macro, or is it embedded within the line > e.g. *saveAs("Tiff", "File.dir\\Colour.tif");*? Thanks, Teresa

Hi,

I think that you want something like below.  You should edit the the  
first line to point an image that exists on your system. I print out  
the srcDir in the third line so you can see that it is just string.  
Also note that within the last command I use string math to  
concatenate the directory and the filename.  You can see that Wayne  
has put in a wealth of file handling commands at ...

Cheers,

open("/Users/ben/Test.tif");
srcDir = File.directory();
print("srcDir=" + srcDir + " string length=" + lengthOf(srcDir));
outputFile =  "Test-2.tif";
saveAs("Tiff", srcDir + outputFile);

Hi Ben and Teresa,

I'm having similar issues writing to a specific folder. In my case I am
duplicating ROIs from a stack and saving them as separate stacks, ideally in
subfolders created in the parent. It all works well at the moment except the
saving to the subfolders. Instead of ending up in the appropriate ones all
the stack images get dumped in the parent. If either of you have any idea
where the error lies in my code I'd be most grateful if you could point it
out!

Many thanks,
Chris


sdir = getDirectory("choose source directory ");
n = roiManager("count");
for (i=0; i<n; i++) {
     roiManager("select", i);
     bee = "bee_"+i+"_";
     ddir = sdir+bee;
     File.makeDirectory(ddir);
     run("Duplicate...", "title = ["+bee+"] duplicate range=1-3000");
     run("Image Sequence... ", "format=TIFF name=["+bee+"] start=0 digits=4
save=["+ddir+"]");
close();
  }
