getting text from internet
« on: Feb 27th, 2004, 5:10am »
I'm doing a work wich is supposed to be a political speech generator, after seeing your work I think maibe you can help me.
 work and it's based on William Burroughs teories about making changes in real speeches  giving them new meaning.
The final purpose is to make a web page that can search the internet for political speeches and the destroy them making a new one with the mixture, the problem is making sense.
 
So I need help in  how to get the texts from a selected internet search and then mix them generating something with some kind of sense
 
thank you very much

you can input the content of a url into your application, for instance:
 
String lines[] = loadStrings("url here");  
for (int i=0; i < lines.length; i++) {  
  println(lines[i]);  
}
 
Also check this "Loading and Writing Files" technote:

i think this code does not work in the browser. there are security restrictions to just let load code from the same server. but it will work in p5.
