Can you retrieve values from the Log window in a macro?

Hi.

I am writing a macro that uses a number of plugins (right now, I'm using Gabriel Landini's Convex Hull Plus extensively), all of which return values into the Log window. Is there some way of reading those values so the macro can use them for later steps? If not, is there a way for a macro to directly retrieve the value of a variable directly from the plugin code? I do not know how to program in Java, otherwise I would just make my own plugin and borrow the relevant bits of code.

Thanks, in advance, for your help.
