I'm beginner in processing and my problem is, that I can't assign every letter a special sign (p.e. an ellipse for the letter "e" and a rectangle for the letter "f"). I want that the letters have the same order as they are in the text document.It should be a symbol translation of a text. For example it could look like this:







The current code I have:
String lines[];

void setup(){
 size(200, 200);
 lines = loadStrings("tell.txt");
}

void draw(){
 for(int i=0; i < lines.length; i++){
  for(int j=0; j < lines[i].length(); j++){
    String letter = lines[i].substring(j, j+1);

    if(letter.contains("e")){
     println("e");
    }

    if(letter.contains("f")){
     println("f");
    }

    if(letter.contains("t")){
     println("t");
    }

  }
 }
}

I realy hope you can help me. It's for a school project. Thanks a lot!
