How to manipulate the string

josephy22 · December 2017

Hi guys I`m new here. I have a problem when trying to display a text file. How do I manipulate the string into the rectangle box as I want to display some information from a text file. Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

` PFont f; PImage img, img1, img2, img3, img4, img5; PImage left, right;

String my_text = "CYRBORG"; String[] words; String entireplay;

float x = width/2; float y = 100; int index = 0;

void setup() { size(1200, 800, P3D); background(11, 39, 13); f = createFont("Arial", 32, true); img = loadImage("cyborg.png"); left = loadImage("arrow-left.png"); right = loadImage("arrow-right.png"); String[] lines = loadStrings("cyrborg.txt"); entireplay = join(lines, " "); println(entireplay); words = split(entireplay, " ");

}

void draw() {

fill(93, 142, 97);
stroke(10, 18, 11);
rect(50, 50, 500, 700);

//translate and rotate the image around its cyrcle
//pushMatrix();
  //translate(300, 200, 0);
  //rotateY(radians(r));
  img.resize(280,650);
  image(img,160,100);
  //r += 1;
//popMatrix();

image(left, 75, height/2 - 50 );
image(right, 480, height/2 - 50 );


line(width/2, 50, width/2, height-50);


line(width/2 + 50, 100, width- 50, 100);
fill(0);
noStroke();

textFont(f);
fill(255);
noStroke();
text(my_text,650,90);

fill(93, 142, 97);
stroke(10, 18, 11);
rect(width/2 + 50, 150, 500, 600);
for(int i = 0; i < words.length; i++)
{
  fill(255,127);
  textSize(28);
  text(words[i], 700+i, 200, 400, 400);
} // end form loop

}// end draw `

How to manipulate the string

Manipulate in what way? Change its color? Combined fields under the same text element? Something similar to: https://processing.org/reference/concat_.html

although there are other options:

int ctr=100; 
float number=100.0;
String msg="A message from other planet";

textAlign(CENTER,CENTER);
text("This is my text ctr: " + ctr+
      "\n Here is my number: "+number+
      "\n Here is  my msg: "+msg,0,0,width,height);

you don't need a for loop

This

   text(entireplay , 700, 200, 400, 400);

should do the job.

Alternatively

Alternatively with a for loop say

     text(lines[i], 700, 200+(i*24), 400, 400);

before setup say

String[] lines;

in setup() change this

 String[] lines = loadStrings("cyrborg.txt");

to

   lines = loadStrings("cyrborg.txt");

Remark

it's cyborg without the first "r"

How to post in the processing forum.

Best is to hit ctrl-t in processing first before copy paste into the forum

You can edit your post (click the small gear and the 'Edit').

How to format Code:

empty line before and after the code section

select (highlight) entire code with the mouse

hit ctrl-o OR click the small C in the command bar
