Opening results file in a macro

Dear ImageJ users

I seem to have encountered a similar problem as reported before, but I
didn't find any solutions, so therefore I'll try to relaunch the question:
I can no longer open a results file automatically when given a directory
obtained by getDirectory("");
E.g. suppose a 'testresults.txt' file is to be opened.

dir=getDirectory("");
path=dir+"testresults.txt";
run("Results...", "openasstring...=["+path+"]");

This piece of code results in a dialog that still demands the user to select
the results file.
Is this a bug or I'm a overlooking something trivial? I'm running imageJ
1.42q on a pc (vista).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

winnok

Subject:      Opening Results Problem/Bug?

Hi, Part of the macro I'm writing involves opening a results table which
ImageJ saved previously. The section I'm having problems with is this: macro
"bug example" { G_Ddir=getDirectory("choose folder"); G_jobName="test";
string="openasstring...=" + G_Ddir + G_jobName + "_basic.xls";
run("Results...", string); } It should open the results of an the Image
called G_jobName, so in this case, a file called test_basic.xls This bit of
code runs fine on my Mac (using IJ 1.42l and Java 1.5.0_16) but when I run
the same piece of code on ImageJ on a PC it doesn't work... (64bit PC,
ImageJ1.42I or 1.42k) not only that but it actually causes ImageJ to crash
and close... Just before it crashes it opens a window called "documents"
which looks a bit like the results table It returns this value as the
variable string= openasstring...=C: \Documents and
Settings\mikiko\Desktop\test_out\test\test_basic.xls Does anyone have any
suggestions? Thanks Adam Dr Adam Cliffe Research Fellow Rørth Lab Cell
