Good day Iris,

if you look at
<https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html>
you will find the following:

"File.open(path)
Creates a new text file and returns a file variable that refers to it.
To write to the file, pass the file variable to the print function.
Displays a file save dialog box if path is an empty string. The file is
closed when the macro exits. Currently, only one file can be open at a
time. For an example, refer to the SaveTextFileDemo macro."

With this information you may either pass an empty string as path which
brings up a file dialog or you enter a correct path.

I don't know whether Output+"Thresholds.txt" is a correct path because
you do not specify Output in your code snippet.

I've simply used "Thresholds.txt" which means that the file is stored in
the ImageJ directory. The text file definitely contains:

Minimum threshold: <min_val>
Maximum threshold: <max_val>

I don't understand what goes wrong on your side. Please try to run the
code I've provided without any changes and perhaps use
   txt_file = File.open( "" );
instead.

Good luck

Herbie
