Hi,
I am trying to run an ImageJ macro in a java plugin using IJ.runMacro. I
would like to understand how to pass the macro a string argument. The
following code doesn't work:

String simpleMacro =
    "String greeting = getArgument();"+
    "print(greeting);";

IJ.runMacro(simpleMacro,"hi");

What am I doing wrong? How can I pass the macro the string argument "hi"
and get the macro to print it?

Thank you,
Avital
