loading a text file
May 16th, 2009, 9:50pm  
( apologies if this is the wrong forum. I am a bit confused about the "Syntax Questions" and "Programs" forums )

"The file "ini.txt" is missing or is inaccessible, make sure the URL is valid or that the file has been added to the sketch and is readable."

I have a file, ini.txt, inside the H:\processing\ms\ folder, where all my images and the ms.pde file are located, and which is opened upon using the ctrl+k hotkey. If it's of any significance, I'm running processing from, and H:\ is, a USB stick.

If you load the file using something like loadStrings, the file must be located in a folder named data in the sketch folder.

I created the folder \ms\data, into which I placed the ini.txt file, but compiling still gives the same error.

We might need to see the relevant piece of code.

couple ideas:

- did you check, after compiling, that the application folder contains the data subfolder and the needed txt? if not simply copy and paste.

- i don't know the scope of your project, but, if the data subfolder thing does not fit you, you should make a google search for "java working folder" to understand where java looks for the stuff you call.
