Hi,

I know that a summary from batch processing can be saved as an Excel file. However, I'm wondering if it's possible or if anyone has written code to make this process automatic? i.e. as soon as a new summary is created from batch processing in ImageJ, can Excel know to open it?

My end goal is for images to be opened in ImageJ, processed, and the results auto-emailed. (I know VBA can be used with Excel to send emails).

I realize this might be platform-dependent -- I'm mainly working on a Mac, have Word for Mac, but I can also run a pc virtual machine.

Thanks.
