[Processing 4.3 Screenshot] The following code was written by someone a few years ago for our company. What it does is display the counts of parts that are coming off of some of our machines. What i need to be able to do is have those numbers save into an excel file with the corresponding machine …

I copied my existing code to a text file to keep it safe. I am working on the same computer but we just are not running the program at the moment because its too inefficient to key in the numbers 1 by 1 every so often. I copied the import line and ran it and it still ran. When i copied the rest af…

Alright, 2 probs. Output needs to be declared at the top of the program. It wants an exception handler around the write,flush. Put this line at the top e.g. after the 2 import: FileWriter output; In setup, change the ‘output’ line to (we’ve remove the def of the var): output = new FileWri…

Awesome, it ran with no errors. I have attached an image below of what the ‘example’ file produced. [image]

@RichardDL , If you could please advise me now on how I can get this file to display the numbers from the machines with the times that would also be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Jason , can’t give full attention now, 2 hours later maybe. See dates . Put the result in dateString. For the values, something like: String textLine; textLine = String.format("%s,%d,%d,%d",dateString, ccs1c1, etc) ; output.write(textLine); See String.format in help or google. Play with these…

No worries @RichardDL , there is no rush. Whenever you have time is totally good, i am still learning so it does take me some time as well to understand some of the language.

@Jason , How are things? With all those examples you have all the pieces, and it’s working?

Hi @RichardDL , I was actually a bit confused as to what part of the example code I was going to paste into my code and where to paste it.

This is a very common situation. You have a program that does something, and you want to add a feature. You research the new function (Examples, Help, Google, Forum), and make a small test program that demonstrates the new function. Now you need to merge parts of the test program into the workin…
