File Import
Jul 2nd, 2008, 6:31am  
This question pertains to extracting pertinent information on a file import. I'm new to programming and this issue has given me headaches.

For starters, how would I be able to display a targeted row of information from a txt file (or tsv) in Processing? Let's say that row of information contains the daily high temperatures for Denver, CO, Monday - Sunday. Taking it a step further, how would I be able to limit the information an end user asks for (say the user only wants to see the high temp. on Monday)?


any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, take a look on this:

http://processing.org/reference/loadStrings_.html

and then each line you can split and extract data using split() or splitTokens() function, as is in:

to display you can use either println() function, or if you want to display in drawing area you can use functionality described in:
