problem facing with StringSelection to save into txt file

[doha786]

hi,

i have a TextField in myGUI where some data(results) are shown after calculation. I have a 'save' button to save this result into a particular txt file..

i almost done without error....but inside my txt file it shows this kind of things:

java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection@157f0dc

Please anybody help me to figure out.................

here is the code:

 else if (e.getSource()==saveButton){
 
 int x=Integer.parseInt(inputField.getText());
 String str=Integer.toString(x*x);
 resultField.setText(str)  
  
       try {
	
// String selection =selection.getSelectedText();
  String selection=resultField.getText();
  StringSelection data= new StringSelection(selection);
  
File outFile= new File("c:/Java/math.txt");
FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream(outFile);
PrintWriter pr=new PrintWriter(fos);

pr.print(data);
pr.close();}

catch (IOException ioe) {	
     ioe.printStackTrace();
     System.exit(0);}

Why are you using a StringSelection object here? Why not just write the String to the file?
