Hi Steve,

Check the online ImageJ documentation for the File->Import->Text Image... command at

Subject: Importing textfiles of decimals?

I have many synthetic images exported as textfiles.  They are basically
formatted to be 512 ASCII decimal numbers wide x 512 high, and some are
tiled (therefore, multiples of 512 in either or both directions).  A
simple file starts off with a row of alphanumeric data of variable length
followed by 512 rows of 512 signed decimal numbers separated by tabs
(ddd.dddddd<tab>-dd.dddddd<tab>d.dddddd...).  Every row ends with a CR/LF
(&h0D &h0A).

It appears that IJ (running v1.42h on a Mac) imports many integer and real
formats; but has nothing to parse ASCII values.

Does anyone know of a macro or plugin or utility which can pull these into
ImageJ -or- convert them to an importable format?

Thanks!
