Hello, and welcome to the forum. Could you please provide the necessary details that we need in order to be able to help you. For instance, what problems are you currently having with this code? Are there any error messages on compilation or exceptions thrown on running? And what specifically are you trying to do with this code? Anything you can tell us will help us better understand your problem.

Also, I have edited your code and added code tags which should help make your posted code retain its formatting and be more readable.

To do this yourself, highlight your pasted code (please be sure that it is already formatted when you paste it into the forum; the code tags don't magically format unformatted code) and then press the code button, and your code will have tags.

Another way to do this is to manually place the tags into your code by placing the tag [code] above your pasted code and the tag [/code] below your pasted code like so:

[code]

  // your code goes here
  // notice how the top and bottom tags are different

[/code]

Best of luck, and again, welcome!

sir, tanx for the welcome... that code is running well. but i wanna know instead appearing the output on a dialog box it will goes to a notepad.

What do you man by "it will goes [sic] to a notepad"? Do you mean that you wish to write the text into a text file on disk? Or to have it display in an already running NotePad program?

[pogz]

yes sir that is what i mean. it will write into a text file on disk.

[Fubarable]

Yeah I see. This won't work:

PrintWriter outFile = new PrintWriter();

and in fact it shouldn't even compile. Please check out the API for the PrintWriter class here: PrintWriter (Java Platform SE 6)

It will tell you what constructors are valid (hint, create a File or even just a String for the file name and pass it into the constructor parameter).

thank you so much for your effort sir, i really appreciate it. thanks again
