Saving txt file

[j p]

Hey everyone I want to save a txt file with some data from my program
on the server that the app is on. I tried using saveStrings but it
doesn't seem to work, as no file seems to be created.

This is an example of what i'm trying to do:

void setup()
{
size(200,200);

String words = "apple bear cat dog";
String[] list = split(words, ' ');

// now write the strings to a file, each on a separate line
saveStrings("nouns.txt", list);

}

void draw()
{

}

Alternatively is there another way I should be saving a txt file to my
server?

Hi!

Unlike Processing for Java Processing.js has no method saveStrings(), since saving files in the browser is

not allowed. Firebug shows in the console, that an ReferenceError is thrown.

> saveStrings()

ReferenceError

You could send the data to your server with an AJAX request. Have a look at this jQuery function: 

http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/ .

$.ajax({

  type: "POST",

  url: "some.php",

  data: "your file contents",

}).done(function(msg) {

  alert("Data Saved: " + msg);

})

Greetings

Sorry, I have to correct this. There is an method called saveStrings().

https://github.com/jeresig/processing-js/blob/436fe310efeb3f284b41aca74d73b1118a1dd7b8/processing.js#L8790

p.saveStrings = function(filename, strings) {

  localStorage[filename] = strings.join('\n');

};

It seems that it uses the LocalStorage-feature from HTML5. Does the browser you tested this support HTML5?
