Hola!
Totally new here. I just want to change the text in this generative design text:
How can I change this “faust_kurz.txt” for my own text and include it as a .txt file?? …Just have no clue…
function preload() {
joinedText = loadStrings('data/faust_kurz.txt');
Thank you in advance!
when the file is on your hard drive (make a copy), load it in text editor like Notepad and edit it there and save it with the same name
When the file is not there, make a folder data and therein a text file with the name and put some content in it.
This will also work:
joinedText = {
"Hello",
"Three",
"Words"
};
Thanks a lot for your response! I just want to change the text from that example in the link…
I have no clue of python, and I don’t know where to make a folder data and how to include that inside those code lines in the link.
Also I tried to add the “joinedText” lines, but I don’t know where or how to do it.
I am totally clumsy… Any way to simply change the text in a simple and straight way?
Thank youuuuu
He’s loading a simple text file in that line. The text in the link is a relative path to a file.
The content of this text file is used.
You can either change the name of the file OR change its content
When you hit ctrl-k you get to your Sketch folder on your hard
Drive. There you can make (in your windows OS) the folder data and make a text file in it manually.
Thank you so much for the quick response…
But I am in Mac and this ctrl-k shortcut doesn’t work.
Do you mean that I can have a .txt file in my Mac, and substitute the data/faust_kurz.txt for the path of my file?
In that case, what format should that path have? I just tried several forms like “/Users/david/Desktop/text.txt”, my file is in my desktop, but the p5.js editor says:
Error: [object ReadableStream]
at [47]</i.prototype.httpDo/f< (https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/p5.js/0.7.2/p5.min.js:10:19644)
I just want to change the .txt from this p5.js Web Editor
But I really cannot manage, what format should my path to the file have? Is there other way?
I really need to solve this, thank you so much in advance
Ah okay, sorry, p5.js here
So you are in your browser
So you don’t have a file and the Sketch terminates there ?
I think you can add files on the side menu on the right
Wow… I am really trying everything to upload a .txt file … or … I just don’t know how to do it and what to do or how to proceed
How do I change a text or a pic from this string?
function preload() {
img = loadImage('data/pic.png');
Hello @Davo ,
Assuming you are working in the p5.js editor:
Steps I followed:
Login in. If you do not have an account then create one and log in.
Open this sketch:
https://editor.p5js.org/generative-design/sketches/P_3_1_3_02
Expand the File menu (down arrow) and select duplicate
You now have a copy to work with!
Work with that from this point on…
Expand the menu next to sketch name (arrow pointing to right):
Before:
Make sure you are always working with your copy from this point on.
Hover your mouse over the data folder and another arrow appears pointing down!
Expand that and you will see:
I was not able to edit fast_kurtx.txt
I was able to Create file called text.txt and edit that.
I could rename fast_kurtx.txt but was not able to edit so created new file.
You can also Upload file, Rename, etc.
That should get you started.
It is a challenge at first to navigate those menus!
There may be a good tutorial or video out there… see what a Google search comes up with and share.
:)
Ohhhh…
That is sooooo nice
THANK YOU for taking the time and the calm to explain it to me.
I will try it during the day and hopefully make it work.
Have a nice day
IT WORKED!!!
it’s so easy once I followed your step by step expanation.
You really made my day, please feel during this day that somewhere near Dresden (Germany) someone will have a great day because of you
Thank you again
