Does someone know how to load Strings to Processing ?

I have this code:

String[] data;

String[]stuff=loadStrings("Movies2007.txt");

data = split(stuff[0], ',' );

for (int i = 1; i<data.length; i++)

{

text(data[i],100,100);

}

But when I run it, the words appear all on top of the others and it only appears the names of the movies that are in the first line.

I have a .txt file with movie names separated by commas and I'd like to display that on Processing

There is a printscreen attached to this message where you can see how the movies' names are on the .txt file.

And this is how it appears when I run Processing:

Thank you.

The split() code line should go inside the for loop block too.

Since stuff[0] is just the 1st line from your "Movies2007.txt" file.

Actually, it should be a double for loop block:

1 for the split() part, and the other for each element from that split line.

As there are too many lines from your file which has more than 1 element in it!

If your file had only 1 element for each line, there wouldn't be any need to use split()!

Anyways, your file has too many movie titles to show all of them at once on the screen.

You either have to make a scrollable list or show only 1 at a time!
