short i=1;short j=0;

    for(i=1 ;i<24; i++) {
      for(j=0 ;j<35; j++) {
        pieceData[i][j] = str(patternXY[i][j]);
      }
      mainData[i] = join(pieceData[i],",");
    }

    saveStrings("data/text"+001+".txt" , mainData);

Is there a way to have an array's indexes and items be drawn as text? I couldn't find anything specific on this and I'm a beginner to intermediate coder.

I've tried something like the following in the draw function: text("myArray indexes and items:" + myArray_name, 25, 25);

But the text that is drawn isn't anything I can understand. It seems like it's a hexadecimal number and not the familiar [0] item0 , [1] item1, [2] item2, [n] itemn format.

Do I need to do some sort of conversion where the array is transformed in to a String before it goes into the text()?

Thanks for the help!

I have a dictionary, that has values such as this {'birthday': 6, 'think': 5, 'cookie': 15, 'happy': 5, 'ice': 5, 'cream': 5, 'nom': 25, 'boy': 6}

Since I'm making a wordCloud, certain words have to be bigger than the other, and I was going to take the value and times it by three so it would be something like this

pop_words = {'birthday': 18, 'think': 15, 'cookie': 45, 'happy': 15, 'ice': 15, 'cream': 15, 'nom': 75, 'boy': 18}

I wanted to use those numbers as the textSize but I don't quite know how to do that.

I thought about putting it in a for loop but that doesn't seem to work for me, and I'm personally stuck

#Text data 
for value in pop_words:
    text_data = pop_words [value] *3
    textSize (text_data)
    text ("\n". join (pop_words), 250, 50+text_data)



#Display on canvas

size (500, 500)
background (0)
fill (255)
textAlign (CENTER)

example_list= [1,2,3, 4, 5]

for elements in example_list:
    text (elements , 50, 50)

I should note, that I tried to create a variable for y, that took in the number of items, but that didn't quite work

int findNthChar(String a, char c, int n)

I know to use a while loop but am not too sure of the code within it.

for (int i = 0; i < filenames.length; i++) { texts[i] = loadStrings(filenames[i]); }

I would like to access and process many text files one after another. But how?

Thanks in advance!

    String[] messages = split(line, ENTER);
    for (String i : messages) {
      fullMessage = fullMessage + "/n" + messages[i];
    }

Thanks

If i run the following sketch and press ENTER i get null in the console.

String[] buttons; 
String displayButtons;

void setup(){  
  buttons = new String[3]; 
  displayButtons = join(buttons, " : ");
}

void draw(){
}

void keyPressed() {
  if ((key=='1')) { 
   buttons[0] = "You pressed button one";
  }

  if ((key=='2')) { 
    buttons[1] = "You pressed button two";
  }

  if ((key==ENTER)) { 
    printArray(displayButtons);
  }
}

//PFont font;
String[] yazi;    //text'in bagli oldugu array
int kelimeno = 0;   // text'in baslangic noktasi


String sonrakinegec = " ,.?!;:";

void setup() {
  size(500,500);

  // fontu yukle
  //font = loadFont( "CourierNewPSMT-24.vlw" );

  // text'i string array'ine yukle
  String[] rawtext = loadStrings("ham.txt");

  // butun array'i tek bir stringe cevir
  String everything = join(rawtext, "" );


  yazi = splitTokens(everything,sonrakinegec);
  frameRate(2);
}

void draw() {
  background(255);

  // kelimeyi yaz
  String theword = yazi[kelimeno];

// kelimeyi say
int total = 0;
  for (int i = 0; i < yazi.length; i ++ ) {
    if (theword.equals(yazi[i])) {      
      total ++;
    }
  }

  // Display the text and total times the word appears
  //textFont(font);
  fill(0);
  float y=0;
  if (total>=15) {
    y=y+40;
    print(theword+"-" +total+" ");
  }

  text(theword,10,90+y);
  text(total,10,110+y);
  stroke(0);
  fill(175);
  rect(10,50+y,total/4,20);

  // Move onto the next word
  kelimeno = (kelimeno + 1);


}

 char[] a=new string[100];
char value="";

void draw(){
}
void keyPressed(){
value=key;
}

I want that the value will be added to the array and when it changes the new value will be added to next index. how to do this?

Here is my code:

PrintWriter output;

float x,y,e;
int plate_width=50, plate_height=50;
boolean UP=true;
boolean RIGHT=true;

void setup(){
  size(100,100);
  x=40;
  y=40;
  output = createWriter("gcode.doc");
}

void draw(){
  if (UP) {
  y=y+0.2;
} else {
  y=y-0.2;
}
  
 if (y>=plate_height) {
  x=x+0.2;
  UP=false;
  
 }
 
 if (y<=40) {
   UP=true;
   x=x+0.2;
 }
 
 if (x>plate_width) {
   stop();
 }
 
 String[] gcode=new String[7];

gcode[0]="G1";

gcode[1]="X";
gcode[2]=str(x);
gcode[3]="Y";
gcode[4]=str(y);
gcode[5]="E";
gcode[6]=str(e);

String[] str=new String[4];
str[0]=gcode[0];
str[1]=gcode[1]+gcode[2];
str[2]=gcode[3]+gcode[4];
str[3]=gcode[5]+gcode[6];
e=e+0.04488;


str=append(str,"");

println(str);

output.println(str);
}
