modifying data from loadStrings
May 19th, 2005, 10:18pm  
I’ve been writing a program that I intend to be able to modify data imported from loadStrings, specifically I’d like the program to remove all tabs and returns so that only spaces between words remain. Is this possible? If so, how?

something like this oughta work:

// get the lines
String lines[] = loadStrings("things.txt");
// make into a single line
String single = join(lines, " ");
// break into words on one or more whitespace chars
String words[] = split(single);

if you wanted to get rid of, say, commas and periods as well:
String words[] = split(single, WHITESPACE + ".,");

good luck!
