jbb YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 5	parsing text file with braces in it Apr 28th, 2010, 2:20pm   Hi all, I'm parsing a CSV using a modification of the code on p. 301 of Visualizing Data.  My data set includes curly braces. Is there an easy way (a backslash combo or something) to handle braces in the string array I built with loadStrings so processing doesn't interpret them as part of the code structure? Many thanks, James

Data is data, strings are not code, code is compiled in a special process, not interpreted, so you should not be concerned by this. If you haven't yet, just try it. If you have real trouble with these chars, show some code.
