Hey guys !

I am wondering is it possible for a, JTextArea to be editable in a JFrame also visible?
I mean, I have an application that will read in txt files and put the content to the TextArea, also I want it to be editable so I can save it later again.
Now my current question, with bufferedreader can I read in text files and then add them to JTextAreas, I haven't been able to do it; so asking if anyone here at C.C have done it and would like to share the knowledge !

Cheers !

Pretty sure thats possible.

Why are you having trouble putting a String in a textarea?

Not really, I have the problem to read in textfiles and add them up in the textarea, making it simple to be edited and saved. I have the opening/saving functions ready; but not the textfile to textarea link(does not compute !)

open the text file. Read it in (as a whole or line by line) and put it in the text area using insert().

Did not work :-(

It does work, I've just done it.

textArea.insert("stuff",0);

are you closing your buffered reader?
