hi all,
i write a simple program that it will first import a .txt file the content of the .txt file is like that:

apple
hill
nurse
you
win

every words followed by a line feed (\n).then the program will separate each word by splitTokens() and assign each word to an array element:


String ref2[] = loadStrings("electriccode.txt");
String str2 = ref2[0];
String[] ref = splitTokens(str2);

size(400,400);
background(0);

println(ref);


From processing.org reference, it said that "If no tokens character is specified, any whitespace character is used to split. Whitespace characters include tab (\t), line feed (\n), carriage return (\r), form feed (\f), and space."i try to use this String[] ref = splitTokens(str2); to split line feed and assign the words to array ref[] like this:

ref[0] = "apple";
ref[1] = "hill";
ref[2] = "nurse";

but i failed, can anyone tell me why i cannot use splitTokens() to split line feed?thanks.

there is no need to split it.
When using loadString, every line is loaded

try this :

String ref[] = loadStrings("nouns.txt");


size(400,400);
background(0);

println(ref);
