file input (simple question)
Dec 6th, 2006, 12:41am  
My .pde file grabes a string that's a filename and passes it to a Java program bundled in the application.  Where does this file need to be put so that it's in the "current directory" relative to the java files?

Thanks!

Go into menubar and select Sketch > Add File... and choose the desired file. It should create a directory called "data" in your sketch folder if it doesn't already exist and put that file in there. You can do that manually too, if you prefer.

I actually think that's wrong -- I finally had a moment of clarity and threw in a line to my java program to return the current directory, and it returned /Applications/Processing/.  So (at least on my Mac) it works when I put the input files in that folder, and putting files in the "data" folder doesn't work.

Thanks for the help tho!
