output results to file - batch

I'm trying to create a macro that analyzes images of droplets, and
instead of outputting the results of all of the images in the  batch
into one large data file, I want a single data file for each image.  Can
someone take a look at my macro and tell me what I'm doing wrong? it
gets past the first image in the folder and then throws the error
*
Statement cannot begin with '.' in line 21.
txtPath = path + ".txt" ; <.>

*I'm simply trying to append .txt to the image filename to save the
results (so I get something like image1.tif.txt), which I have done
successfully with other macros.

Any help you can provide would be invaluable.

Thanks
