Dear all interested readers,


I'm working on a code that scans a text for specific words and give the block behind the word a specific color.

example of how I do this:

  if ("het".equals(theword) == true) {
      fill(0, 150, 0);
    }
  if ("de".equals(theword) == true) {
      fill(0, 150, 0);
    }
  if ("een".equals(theword) == true) {
      fill(0, 150, 0);
    }
 
 if ("aan".equals(theword) == true) {
      fill(200, 0, 0);
    }


It seems a bit weird to call the code for "de"+"het"+"een" 3 times, since the results have to be the same. Is it posible to have a list of these words: list = de, het, een, and then check the whole list at once?

Here's my entire code:

1. boolean kollom1 = true;
   boolean kollom2 = false;
   
   int teller;
   int kollom = 30;
   
   int timer;
   
   PFont reg;
   PFont reg2;
   
   float textbreedte;
   
   PFont number;
   String[] origtext;
   int counter;
   String delimiters =" ,.?!;:[]><-";
   float yplaats = 28;
   
   
   
   import processing.pdf.*;
   boolean record = false;
   
   int telx;
   int tely;
   int imagecount;
   PImage img;
   int increment=1;
   
   void setup() {
     size(1100, 850);
   
   
     reg = createFont("Arial", 55);
     reg2 = createFont("Arial", 25);
   
   
     String[]rawtext = loadStrings("test.txt");
   
     String all = join(rawtext, "");
   
     origtext=splitTokens(all, delimiters);
   
     noStroke();
   
   
   
   
     background(255);
   }
   
   void draw() {
    
       fill(255);
   
     if (record == false) {
       beginRecord(PDF, "frame-####.pdf");
       record = true;
     }
   
   
     if (counter < origtext.length) {
   
       String theword = origtext[counter];
   
   
       int total = 0;
       for (int i =0; i < origtext.length; i++) {
   
         if (theword.equals(origtext[i])) {
           total++;
         }
       }
   
       noStroke();
       // rect(0,0,width/4,height-total);
   
       textFont(reg2);
   
       float balk2 = textWidth(theword);
       noStroke();
   
   
   
       if (total > 1 && total <5) {
   
         fill(0, 0, 255);
       }
       else {
         fill(0);
       }
   
       if (total > 5 && total <8) {
   
         fill(255, 100, 30);
       }
   
       if ("you".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(115, 0, 250);
       }
       if ("de".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(0, 150, 0);
       }
      
        if ("het".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(0, 150, 0);
       }
      
        if ("een".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(0, 150, 0);
       }
   
   if ("in".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(255, 0, 0);
       }
      if ("om".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(255, 0, 0);
       }
     
       if ("op".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(255, 0, 0);
       } 
       if ("van".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(255, 0, 0);
       }
           if ("om".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(255, 0, 0);
       }
           if ("Van".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(255, 0, 0);
       }
           if ("voor".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(255, 0, 0);
       }    
            if ("over".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(255, 0, 0);
       }    
            if ("bij".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(255, 0, 0);
       }           
            if ("met".equals(theword) == true) {
         fill(255, 0, 0);
       }    
   
       if (textbreedte+balk2 > width-50) {
   
         textbreedte = 0;
         yplaats = yplaats+28;
       }
   
   
       if (yplaats > height-60) {
         yplaats = 28;
   
         if (record == true) {
           endRecord();
           record = false;
         }
   
         background(255);
       }
   
       //  fill(0);     
      
       if (record == false) {
        
       } else{
   
       rect(textbreedte, yplaats+5, balk2+7, 28);
       fill(255);
       textFont(reg2);
       text(theword, textbreedte+1, yplaats+26);
   
       textbreedte = textbreedte+balk2+7;
       }
     }
     else {
       println("done");
       endRecord();
   
     }
     // counter = (counter + 1)%origtext.length;
   
     if (counter < origtext.length) {
   
       teller = teller+1;
       counter = origtext.length-origtext.length+teller;
     }
   
   
   
   }
   
   

Hope that someone can give me tips on how to solve this.


Thanks in advance
