putting word file's content into an array

in processing you can have an expression like this:

String[] lines1 = {
"100\t4", "200\t40", "2600\t4", "320\t40"
};

where \t = tab.

This means you can either in Word write a word-vba program to go through all paragraphs in your word-doc and build an expression like the above.
Bad idea.

You can also save the word file in word as a text-file.
Then make sure before the gap between the numbers is really a tab and the break at the end of each line is really a return.

Then you can load the text-file in processing via loadString as you are used to

I want to read data from array instead of from a word file !

Do you mean this:

in processing you can have an array like this:

Copy code

String[] lines1 = {
"100\t4", "200\t40", "2600\t4", "320\t40"
};

where \t = tab.

You can read the data from this array.

this is my code , I changed one of the car to read from array instead of text file , but how could I draw the car usuing that array ?

Since I get the data as a udp packet I think it's better to save it as an array instead of textfile !

import processing.opengl.*;

String[] lines;

int index = 0;

Car myCar1;

Car myCar2;

Car myCar3;

PImage car;

void setup() {

size(screenWidth, screenHeight,OPENGL);

frameRate(20);

myCar1 = new Car(color(108,87,229));

myCar2 = new Car(color(108,87,229));

myCar3 = new Car(color(108,87,229));

car = loadImage("3.jpg");

}

void draw() {

background(0);

translate(width/2,height/3);

// image(car, 0, 0);

// Displays the image at point (100, 0) at half of its size

image(car, 0, -120, car.width/4, car.height/4);

String[]lines1 = { "100\t4","100\t8","100\t12","100\t16","100\t20","100\t24","100\t28","100\t32","100\t36","100\t40","100\t44","100\t48","100\t52"};

myCar1.Move();

lines = loadStrings("pos.txt");

// myCar3.Move();

lines = loadStrings("positions.txt");

// myCar2.Move();

}

class Car {

color c;

int z = 10;

int t = 30;

Car(color tempC){

c = tempC;

}

void display() {

fill(162, 211, 172);

rect(200,200,10,30);

}

void Move() {

fill(c);

if (index < lines.length) {

String[] pieces = split(lines[index], '\t');

if (pieces.length == 2) {

int x = int(pieces[0]);

int y = int(pieces[1]);

rect(x, y, z, t);

}

// Go to the next line for the next run through draw()

index = index + 1;

}

Woe, why don't you use my old Code where you can not only give the color to the car constructor but also the lines??

Each car must have it own lines within the class.

Oh Dear...

actually It does not seem that your code load the data from array . you give it a speed and move the car like that ! I want to load the positions from the array and move the car !

at the moment it doesn't look like it for 2 reasons:

to both cars lines2 is given, so any change in line1 has no effect (as I wrote in the other thread when I first posted that program for you)
the points in line2 are only changed in y-direction, so it looks boring

Change the data in lines2 (lines 9 and 10) and you'll see, both cars are reading the data from array named lines2

I use speed as to how fast I read the array and the points between (See lerp())
