I am splitting a text file into sentences, which I then want to be able to display individually.
I'm splitting into sentences this way:
String[] paragraphs;
void setup(){
paragraphs = loadStrings("article.txt");
for (int j=0; j<paragraphs.length; j++) {
String sentences[] = split(paragraphs[j], '.');
println(sentences[j]);
}
}
This removes the period and also includes the space between sentences at the beginning of each sentence,
so instead of
"The dog ran."
I have
" The dog ran"
I know how to add the period back in, but is there an easy way to remove that space at the beginning, or keep it from being included in the first place?
I am trying to display an en dash. It works when I use the unicode straight in process, but not when it's pulling from a txt file. How can I get it to pull the en dash from the txt file?
Here's my code:
PFont helvetica;
void setup() {
size (400, 400);
background(255);
helvetica = loadFont("Helvetica-12.vlw");
String[] testtext = loadStrings("test.txt");
textFont(helvetica);
fill(0);
text("1 \u2013 2 days", 50, 200); //this displays the en dash
