Hi Forum,

Well i am having problem.

Firstly, what i want to do: Data visualization of the data in Excel sheet.

Problem: Since i can't use Excel sheet directly with processing(without a library), i am converting it into .tsv format.

Now if you have a look at the Excel sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArEPqjLtnMeQdFlqZlVoNWRlN1E4bFlFT3lUMmJPYkE#gid=0

you ll see that there are empty cells also. Now would that be a problem, if i just convert it into tsv from Excel and use it with processing? (i am referring to Ben Fry's Visualizing Data by the way for the code).

Thanks

Hello,

that shouldn't be the problem.

When you use split() with a tabstop (or , or so) you end up with some positions being empty strings ("").
