We closed this forum 18 June 2010. It has served us well since 2005 as the ALPHA forum did before it from 2002 to 2005. New discussions are ongoing at the new URL http://forum.processing.org. You'll need to sign up and get a new user account. We're sorry about that inconvenience, but we think it's better in the long run. The content on this forum will remain online.

For this reason, the language might not be my first choice for things involving extensive string input and output (though it's just right for doing lots of interactive graphics)

However, if you want your milk, and cookies, too, try loading up processing as a regular Java library and mixing it in with Java's extensive IO support.
