Hello,

I'm working on a sketch that uses the midiBus library to convert a MIDI signal generated from an electronic drumset into a visual projection.

I want to read a lengthy .txt file and pull words at random to display on screen when a MIDI event is triggered.

What is the best way to load a .txt file, parse the words and then display them at random?

Thanks.

-J

A question often asked...
Basically, you use loadStrings() to get the lines of your file, then split() to get words. Once you have an array or ArrayList of these, you can use random() to get access to random words.
