How to load a .txt data to a sketch made in processing 1.5.1?

edited November 2013 in How To...

I have a text file that looks like this:

0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 180.0   -0.0    180.0
0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 180.0   -0.0    180.0
0.9982766   -0.0056947786   0.0011389557    -0.0056947786   0.65514725  -0.13400616 0.65514725
0.9982766   -0.0056947786   0.0011389557    -0.0056947786   0.65514725  -0.13400616 0.65514725

but is 600+ rows, each row looks like that, but with changing values. I got it from data caught in realtime using a 6DoF sensor via serial using arduino connected to processing in a sketch made in 1.5.1 the program also displayed this information with a dataviz i created.

I need to take this data in the .txt file and load it instead of the realtime data from the sensor so I can replicate the viz I got that time.

I found the function loadTable() but it seems it's only available in 2.0 and I'm not sure if the sketch will work if I load it into 2.0 so I want to know a way for 1.5.1 to do it.

any suggestions?

Thank you! and sorry for my bad english.

  • Why don't you just try loading it into 2.0 and seeing what happens?

    If you're dead-set against it, you might have to look at file loading in Java. The Scanner class is a good place to start.

    In the old forum, there are lot of examples of using loadString() to load such file and split() to cut it in parts.
