StringIndexOutOfBoundsException?

typ0

Hi All--

I'm trying to troubleshoot an error I'm getting that's freezing my code. I've made a gui using controlP5 and underlying code to process text files and send characters over serial. I don't have much experience deciphering java error codes. I'm looking for a few tips on how to work through it and figure out where the problem is. Here is the error I'm getting:

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1

You need to provide an MCVE.

It seems you read over the end or before beginning of your String array

It’s caused by substring with error -1

Something with the parameter is wrong

Post your entire code or mcve
