Read file and displayed contents on windows

[Rmcgrath]

Hi, I'm beginner in Java.
I'm looking for some help with a basic code where it read a file and the contents displayed onto windows with eclipse swings.
Code programming is made as my basic understanding java, but it seems it doesn't work, so any help it will be appreciated.

unused import (is being used for test purpose)


When code is executed it displayed null, I know could be from code structure, because it have ended and I call to displayed again in windows frames codes.

Hi Rmcgrath, welcome to the forums!

I have added "code tags" to your post. When you post code put [code] at the start of the code and [/code] at the end. That way the indentation will be preserved. Also it's a good idea to use spaces rather than tabs (or a mixture) to indent. The idea is that the code should be as readable as possible.

texto.setText("Mostrando contenido de "+Linea1);

I don't see that you have assigned anything to the variable Linea1. (Following Java coding standards the variable should really be linea1.)

Dear

At first many thanks for your recommendation and added code tags.
By the other way sorry because statement of the variable Linea1 it becomes to try to associated with "lineaLeida"
As first part of the code is open a file and set the contents of the file onto "lineaLeida" so the purpose is to pass the contents to windows and displayed on JTextArea called texto.
So idea of the code it can be resumed as the following;

Open file called "Prueba de hw.html" -> displayed the contents on windows

Thanks in advances, best regards

use the read(...) method of JTextArea to read data from a file into the textarea.

Dear

I have tried with red, but I couldn't find the way how to implement.
Well after spending time by associated to a string the contents of Buffered Reader, and class heritage it displayed the last line of the file.
So I'm stacking if regardless to method implements or my limited acknowledge.

I attach project class code.

Thanks best regards
