Hello all,

 

I'm using a macro that analyzes images from 4 directories.

It is important that the same file (when sorted by filename) is loaded from
all 4 directories.

When I run the macro pasted below in WinXP it gives the correct listing.
However, when I run it in Linux (RH 9.2) it gives a different order of the
files.

Is this a common problem and related to it, how can I sort an array of
strings in ImageJ (a simple sort() doesn't seem to work).

 

Macro:

dir = getDirectory("Choose main directory to analyze");

dir_ch1 = dir+"Channel 1/";

dir_ch2 = dir+"Channel 2/";

dir_ch3 = dir+"Channel 3/";

dir_ch4 = dir+"Channel BF/";

list_ch1 = getFileList(dir_ch1);

list_ch2 = getFileList(dir_ch2);

list_ch3 = getFileList(dir_ch3);

list_ch4 = getFileList(dir_ch4);

n = list_ch1.length

for (i=0; i<n; i++) {

            print(list_ch1[i]);

            print(list_ch2[i]);

            print(list_ch3[i]);

            print(list_ch4[i]);

}

 

Regards,
