Hi everyone,
I'm working on ImageJ 1.40 in batch mode. I cannot find anywhere if it's
possible passing parameters to a macros directly by command line. I mean
something like this:
./jre/bin/java -jar ij.jar -batch macros/Try.txt  < inputTry

I cannot use dialog box because I'm working without GUI and not
interactively.
Particularly I need to pass the macro the name of a file. I thought to write
the name in a file and use the option of the open function to read it and
open the file .. something like the example I found on line:

run("Open...", "open="+getDirectory("plugins")+"README.txt");

but the name of my file is composed by variables, so I have to include
everything in a script to decode the name and it cannot read as a txt file.

Do you know some way to help me?
thank you very much
Federica
