array to string
« on: Nov 16th, 2004, 2:45am » |

Is there a method for the quick conversion of an array to a string for writing to a file (and an equivalent method to get it back into an array)?
Perhaps something similar to the way that lingo does it:
myString = string(myList)
and
myList = value(myString)
or does this have to be done the long way around?

"join" will do it:
http://processing.org/reference/join_.html
// this will join the myList array with spaces
String myString = join(myList, " ");
another example on the ref page.

Thanks fry, I don't know why I missed that on the reference page.
Unfortunately it's completely useless for what I want to do - I'll have a go at summarising that in case anyone has any bright ideas about how I might be able to simplify before I go about feeding the data through loops to make formatted strings.
I have a two dimensional array that holds data about notes for sonia:
float[][] c1 = { { E[5], .2, .5}, {FS[5], .2, .5},
{ G[5], .2, 1}, {FS[5], .2, .5}, { E[5], .2, .5}, {DS[5], .2, 1}, ... etc.
The first element in the second dimension refers to the frequency of notes, drawn from one of a series of arrays that look like this:
float[] CS= {34.6478, 69.2957, 138.5913, 277.1826, 554.3653, 1108.731, 2217.461, 4434.922};
I want to slap the first array down into a file that can be read and written to by machine but also editable by hand - so the note _names_ are important as the frequencies are somewhat difficult to conceptualise. I've made it this way because I can't mix strings and floats in the same array.
Would I be right in thinking that there is no shortcut for this?
