manipulating twitter status using jtwitter
Feb 10th, 2010, 8:45pm  
I want to get twitter status using processing and get certain keywords from the status.

I am using jTwitter and I can print twitter status on the console using:
println(myTwitter.getStatus("myTwitterAccount"));

If I understand correctly, getStatus() returns String. Is it possible for me to store the String in another variable so that I can manipulate? How?

This my first attempt at making an interactive work so your help will be much appreciated...thanks

Hi thanks for replying...

When I ran this:

String newString = myTwitter.getStatus("myTwitterAccount");

I got this message:

"cannot covert from Twitter.Status to String"

Does this mean getStatus doesn't return a String?

If you can println() it, you should be able to convert it to a String somehow.

Try:
String newString = "" + myTwitter.getStatus("myTwitterAccount");

Well, on a more canonical way:
String newString = myTwitter.getStatus("myTwitterAccount").toString();

It avoids concatenation...
