Hello everyone,
This is my first post here so bear with me.. I would say I am slightly above newbie-level with Processing, but not by much. I have done a few neat and rather complex projects using Processing before, but I am no expert.
My current problem involves working with files that are too inconvenient to move into the "data" directory of my sketch. I want to work with some 'log' files and I don't want to move them. Is there any way at all that I can access them with Processing--perhaps using a complete file-path or something? The particular function I am using is "loadStrings()". Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is the only thing preventing my project from being flexible and easy to work with.
