Hello!
I'm new to both Processing and programming in general, and am working on a moderately ambitious project right now. I'm storing data in plain text files, loading them as strings, splitting them, and then displaying the text; however, I want the end-user to be able to edit the text files (and thus Processing's output). Similarly, I want the application to be able to save/load preferences to a plain text file as well - preferably one that's also human readable. Lastly, I don't want the end-user to have to deal with the Processing IDE / export. When I export the file, it would appear to wrap all the .txts into the .exe (or into one of the .jars?). Is there any way to avoid this? I'd like to keep the /data/ folder intact, so the user can edit it.
Thanks in advance!
