Hello!

I am new here to the forum but I follow the discussions for a while now.

Today I joined because I have a question myself:

I am trying to make a start with an infographic.

On a single line in the text file with the stats there are 3 important things.

this is what it looks like:

1. Calibre - 3886
2. Legowelt - 3569
3. Logistics - 2309
4. Radiohead - 2099

the first number is the ranking followed by the artist and then the total play count.

How can I put this info in a string?

I want the ranking to be the order and the the total play count the height for the bars for example.

this is my code so far:

void setup() {
size(1200,600);
background(0);
smooth();
textFont( loadFont( "GiorgioSans-Light-24.vlw" ) );
barGraph();
}
void barGraph() {
String[] stats = loadStrings("stats_artists.txt");
//String[] stats = splitTokens(statistics, "1 ");
for(int i = 0; i < stats.length; i++) {
text("" + stats[i] + "", random(1200),random(600));
}
}

for now I used the lines in the txt file as a output.

But the problem and thus the question here is how the extract the 3 different kinds of info from the single lines (ranking/artist/total play count)

Can anyone help me out a little with this?

Great thanks in advance!

If I understand the question correctly, it is mostly a matter of finding the separators inside the string. this piece of code should help (i hope there are no hyphens '-' in the artist names - otherwise you may need to use lastIndexOf in line 6)

String s = "1. Calibre - 3886";
int pos = s.indexOf('.');
String rank = s.substring(0,pos);
s = s.substring(pos+1);
pos = s.indexOf( '-');
String name = s.substring(0,pos);
String total = s.substring(pos + 1);
println("rank = "+rank);
println("name = " + name);
println("total = " + total);

Thanks for your fast reply!

Do I have to use this code for all the lines in the txt file?

Cause I have like 100+ lines there?

Can it be 'automated' for every line?

thanks again!

Re: loadString

yes, you need to iterate over the array returned by loadStrings and parse each string (similar to what you have now, but instead of drawing each line parse it)

Re: loadString

but if I have to fill in " String s = "1. Calibre - 3886";" myself for all the entries than why would I need that txt file and the " String[] stats = loadStrings("stats_artists.txt");" code anyway?

Re: loadString

I used the first string just as an example to test the parsing for myself.

You should go over the array and parse each line.

String[] stats = loadStrings("stats_artists.txt");
for(int i = 0; i < stats.length; i++) {
String s = stats[i];
// parse the string as in the given example
}

Re: loadString

I just found out too.

Great thanks for your help!!

Now I'm going to try to link the rank and the total play count to the position and length of the bars.

Re: loadString

one more question:

how can I convert the rank and total to int? (numbers)

It keeps saying 'cannot convert from int to string' when I use this code:

rank = int(rank);

or this code:

int positions = rank;

Re: loadString

int r = int(rank);

sic139

Re: loadString

3 years ago

I'm sorry but I'm afraid that is not right.

now r is 0 all the time but it should be from 1 to 100...

Re: loadString

if you need help debugging, please post your current code. it's hard to guess what the problem is otherwise.

Re: loadString

I'm sorry.

Here it is:

void setup() {
size(1200,600);
background(0);
smooth();
textFont( loadFont( "GiorgioSans-Light-18.vlw" ) );
barGraph();
}
void barGraph() {
// text( "(" + (stats) + ")", 10, 50);
String[] stats = loadStrings("stats_artists.txt");
for(int i = 0; i < stats.length; i++) {
// text("" + stats[i] + "", random(1200),random(600));
String s = stats[i];
int pos = s.indexOf('.');
String rank = s.substring(0,pos);
s = s.substring(pos+1);
pos = s.indexOf( '-');
String name = s.substring(0,pos);
String total = s.substring(pos + 1);
int r = int(rank);
text("" + name,r , random(0,600));
println(r);
//println(rank);
// println("rank = "+rank);
// println("name = " + name);
// println("total = " + total);
}
}

Re: loadString

works fine for me. prints out 1 2 3 4 for the following data file:

1. Calibre - 3886

2. Legowelt - 3569

3. Logistics - 2309

4. Radiohead - 2099

(including the numbers at the beginning of each line).

Re: loadString

3 years ago

you copied the exact same code as I posted?

hmm that is weird because here it still prints out r as 0.

what version of processing do you have? I have 1.2

edit: if I replace

int r = int(rank);

with

float r = float(rank);

that I get as a output for r: NaN

I don't get it...

Re: loadString

my guess is that you have leading or trailing spaces in your data file.

try removing them using trim().

int r = int(rank.trim());

Re: loadString

ha! this works!

But, I think that it was not the only problem.

I think the .txt file was in fact an rtf.

Re: loadString

3 years ago

this is what I can come up with for now:

void setup() {
size(1300,800);
background(0);
smooth();
textFont( loadFont( "GiorgioSans-Light-15.vlw" ) );
barGraph();
}
void barGraph() {
// text( "(" + (stats) + ")", 10, 50);
translate(width/2, height/2);
rotate(1.5*PI);
// rectMode(CENTER);
// rect(0, 0, 100, 100);
String[] stats = loadStrings("stats_artists_genres.txt");
for(int i = 0; i < stats.length; i++) {
String s = stats[i];
int pos = s.indexOf('.');
String rank = s.substring(0,pos);
s = s.substring(pos+1);
pos = s.indexOf( '-');
String name = s.substring(0,pos);
s = s.substring(pos+1);
pos = s.lastIndexOf( '-');
String total = s.substring(0,pos);
String genre = s.substring(pos + 1);
//int r = int(rank.trim());
int r = int(rank);
int t = int(total.trim());
pushMatrix();
fill(255);
textAlign(RIGHT);
text("" + name, -270, ((-600+(r*12))));
popMatrix();
pushMatrix();
fill(HSB, t, 290, 190);
rect(-260, (-600+(r*12)), t/6, -10);
//text("" + total,
popMatrix();
pushMatrix();
textAlign(LEFT);
fill(255);
text("" + genre, 310, ((-600+(r*12))));
popMatrix();
//println(r);
//println(t);
//println(name);
//println(total);
//println(rank);
//println(genre);
}
}

the txt file now looks as follows:

1. Calibre - 3886 - Drum 'n Bass
2. Legowelt - 3569 - Electro
3. Logistics - 2309 - Drum 'n Bass
4. Radiohead - 2099 - Alternative
5. Beastie Boys - 1388 - Hip Hop

How can I count how many times each genre is in that list?

I want that every genre is written down one time each.

All the artists that correspond with a certain genre should be connected with lines.

How do I do this? Where to start?

I think, but I can't:

- count all different genres

- remember which artist is what kind of genre

- then link them together.

Can you maybe please help me out here a bit?

Great thanks again!

Re: loadString

You should probably read about HashMaps.

This will also help - Hash Map: Increase one value by 1

sic139

Re: loadString

3 years ago

Thanks for the tip about hasmaps!

I did it for now without hasmaps because I was already started.

There is 1 thing left what I want to do.

I want the string 'name' from 'stats' and the string 'name' from 'stats_2' to be compared with each other.

if they are the same their should be a line drawn between them.

But I don't know how to compare these values since they are in different strings (stats and stats_2).

How can I compare these values?

see code below at lines 25 and 309.

Great thanks in advance!

Comparing strings: see String reference (hint: equals()).

Thanks for your tip but I think I need a little more help though.

In every example I can find they compare a string with a certain value.

But I want to compare two substrings in different strings with each other.

I want the substring name from stats and stats_2 compared to each other. But how can I do that?

Can you maybe give me a little more info please?

I used this but without any luck....

String[] artist = loadStrings("stats_artists_genres.txt");
String[] artist_2 = loadStrings("stats_songs_genres.txt");
for(int i = 0; i < artist.length; i++) {
String s = artist[i];
int pos = s.indexOf('.');
String rank = s.substring(0,pos);
s = s.substring(pos+1);
pos = s.indexOf('-');
String name = s.substring(0,pos);
String name1 = name.trim();
if(i == 99) {
for(int j= 0; j < artist_2.length; j++) {
String t = artist_2[j];
int qos = t.indexOf( '(');
t = t.substring(qos+1);
qos = t.indexOf( ')');
String name_2 = t.substring(0,qos);
String name2 = name_2.trim();
//println(name2);
if(name1.equals(name2) == true) {
println("YES!");
}
}
}
//println(name1);
}
