Save a txt file in data dictionary(?)

in Programming Questions • 11 months ago

Hi!

When I tried to save a txt file the are saved in the processing ide dictionary when using 2.01b +.
In othlder versions (1.2.1, 1.5.1) it is saved in the dictionary of the sketch.

saveStrings("\\data\\save.txt", helper); // is false now

saveStrings("C:\\sketches\\sketch143\\data\\save.txt", helper); //is this the right way or is there a other one?

Hope you don't mind bad english

Thanks!

For me (Win 7 64bit 2.0b5) , the example in online reference...

String words = "apple bear cat dog";
String[] list = split(words, ' ');

// Writes the strings to a file, each on a separate line
saveStrings("nouns.txt", list);

...saves into the sketch's folder.

What's in your...
sketchbook.path=
... in preferences.txt?

saveStrings("\\data\\save.txt", helper); // is false now
Well, it is wrong anyway, as a path starting with a file separator is supposed to be an absolute path.
Note that even in Windows, forward slashes work.
You should try:
saveStrings("data/save.txt", helper);
if you wish to save in the data folder.
