first, some clarification.  tell me if this explanation matches your vision:

there is a website where images are continually posted, say one new image per hour.  You want processing to go and get the new image every hour.  each image will be located at http://fixedurl.com/x.jpg, where x is a different alphanumeric key each time a new image is added.

in that case, what you can do is use loadStrings(url) to grab all of the html where the image is located and have processing "find" the part where the image url is.  then based off of that, use the image url to load the last picture.  I put "find" in quotes because really it's you who will have to do the initial finding, and then figure out a way to get processing to do it.  for example, suppose the image url for the newest image was always in the first div with the id "newest".  Using the String indexOf function myhtml.indexOf("<div id='newest'>") will get you in the ball park  Then more string matching which you can read about in the String functions and which I'm happy to help you explore further.

(sorry my explanation petered out a bit at the end.  i'm falling asleep but i'll be back tomorrow.  If that is in fact what you're looking for, that should help you get started at the very least.

yeah the second idea matches mine. It's an alphanumeric string, randomly created, at least it looks like that.

I "figured" it out yesterday but it's very messy and not the best way.

I wanted to do it via indexOf but this will not work on String[] so no chance.

What I did:

I loaded the hole source code and looked for the line, where the pictures adress is (I hope this will not change, otherwise it wouldn't work at all :/)

then:

-> extracted the line after .com (I will get the alphanumeric string + the rest of the source code what stands behind it)

like

/files/2234324324wnk213432.jpg" width="123" height="123">

then:

->same thing again. Splitting after .jpg gives me:

/files/2234324324wnk213432

now you can let processing load the image.

Hope it's going to work, now I have the problem that the Applet won't work on my homepage :(

The Problem is that now I have one long string ( btw you have to write:

String joinedHTML = join(html, "\t");

for example)

It doesn't help me by extracting the alphanumeric part :/

I had it working yesterday but the problem is, it seems like the line in the source code is moving. Makes it impossible to handle with the code from yesterday.

At the moment I do it like this:

The Problem is that I no have blocks with the alphanumeric part AND the part of the source code between a .jpg and the next http://

is there a way to split it more intelligent ?

I did the same as before, but used splitToken now and then:

EQUALS !

I set rev words (like "media, tumblr" etc) which will be listed directly in front of the aplhanumeric key. Because I only have to pictures in front (header + background) I have to use the 3. position of saveserver and servelink !

Thanks a lot mate,

hope it will work in the future :)

thanks for the help,

take care,
