Open the tab-delmited text file as a ResultsTable and then use the getValue() method to retrieve the values. The following JavaScript example opens a two column (“Min” and “Max”) tab-delmited text file as a ResultsTable and retrieves and prints the values.

-wayne

  rt = ResultsTable.open("/Users/wayne/Results.txt");
  for (i=0; i<rt.size(); i++) {
     min = rt.getValue("Min", i);
     max = rt.getValue("Max", i);
     print(i+" "+min+" "+max);
  }
