highscores and other string inputs
« on: Jul 20th, 2004, 8:21pm » |

Is it possible for the user to insert a name? For example in C++ u would do cin >> name (im not sure if the > is in the correct direction, Sorry!). Where 'name' is the varible where the string is stored.
Does anyone know?

yes you can. in the reference there is the following example:
http://processing.org/reference/loadStrings_.html
Code:
// textfile get's loaded into array "lines". //
String lines[] = loadStrings("list.txt");
// output length of the array //
println("there are " + lines.length + " lines");
// output every entry in array lines //
for (int i=0; i < lines.length; i++) {
println(lines[i]);
}

cin in c++ if i remember correctly read input from the command line and as far as i know, you cannot read direct command line input in the processing environment.
as an alternative a simple textfield which reads characters direct from key press should work.

the equivalent of using 'cin' is to read from System.in (same as System.out is same as 'cout'). but it's very very rare in a java (or p5) program that you'd want to use this type of input. as the previous poster suggested, you prolly want to track key events and make yourself a text field of some sort.
