Hi Kristian,

part of your question seems to be the most frequent one in this  
mailing list.
For String concatenation the operator is '+' in java and in the macro  
language as well.

  namePrefix="my first images";
  selectWindow(namePrefix + "-0001");

this will select the window named "my first images-0001" (in the  
title bar)

Howver, if you want to select a slice of a stack (i.e. multiple  
images in a single window, with a slider at the bottom), select the  
window by its name, then use the setSlice(n) macro command.
