Hi everybody,

I'm a french beginner on processing.

I want to realize a mouse click counter who to record my counter in the file text and when I restart the program, I want to restart to count directly on my last value from my file text.

Actualy, I've got the first part, my sketch count and save my mouse click in the file text. 

But I can't restart to count with my last file text value in the draw()…

Please, if anybody have a solution form me ?

This is my sketch:

int compteur = 0;  // my counter

String [] newcompteur;

void setup() {

  size(500, 500);

  background (0);

  String[] newcompteur = loadStrings ("compteur.txt"); // read my save file 

  println(newcompteur);

  text (newcompteur[compteur],250, 250);

}

void draw() {

// When I click with my mouse

  if (mousePressed == true) {

    delay(100);  // delay for the mouse click

    background (0);  

    compteur += 1; // my counter

    String[] newcompteur = new String[1];

    newcompteur[0] = compteur+"";

    saveStrings("compteur.txt", newcompteur);

    text (newcompteur[0],250, 250);

    println (newcompteur);

  }

}

Thank you for yours solutions and forgive my english : )
