searching a String var
Nov 4th, 2007, 2:21pm  
hello all,

A bit of a noob question I'm afraid. I have just started playing around with processing and having fun with it though I am struggling with the following:

I want to search a String var for a certain word (a color for example) and run some code if this word is present in the string.

How do I go about searching a String var for a certain combination of characters? I have spent the last few hours poking around the reference part of the site and this forum but to no avail.

Soz if the answer is glaringly obvious! Thanks

Code:
int pos=myString.indexOf("red");
if(pos>=0)
{
  doSomething();
}
