How can i make it possible to write freely and save it in processing.

Caseguy

The thing that i would like is to make a program that would let me type anthing that i want, and then when I click on a button the text that i have written in the program will be saved into a txt file.

String str = "";

void setup(){
  size(400,400);
}

void draw(){
  background(0);
  fill(255);
  text(str,20,20,width-40,height-40);
  fill(128);
  if( over() ){
    fill(196);
  }
  rect(width-20,height-20,20,20);
}

boolean over(){
  return( mouseX>width-20 && mouseY > height-20 );
}

void keyPressed(){
  if( keyCode == DELETE || keyCode == BACKSPACE ){
    if( str.length() > 0 ){
      str = str.substring(0, str.length()-1);
    }
  } else {
    if( key != CODED ){
      str += key;
    }
  }
}

void mousePressed(){
  if( over() ){
    saveIt();
  }
}

void saveIt(){
  String[] strs = { str };
  saveStrings( "text.txt", strs );
}
