want to save JTable in a file..

[doha786]

i am trying to save JTable in a file..
which file type is appropriate for this ?

table=new JTable(model);
if (classNameBox.getState()==true){
File directory = new File("C:/Java/Class");
directory.mkdirs();
File file=new File(directory, "newfile.txt");
file.createNewFile();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
oos.writeObject(table);
oos.close();

i used txt/xls/doc.....etc

i am getting strange output.. how can i get right output?

You're writing out binary data. Don't try to open the file and view it and expect to see anything but binary data. To make sense out of the data, you need to open your file with an ObjectInputStream.

Having said this, you still may be better off writing out either the model or the data underlying the model rather than the JTable itself.

You're writing out binary data.

in order to write readable characters like a txt-file use

BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(aFile));

As the previous said... your writing binary data.

You have to get the String of the contents of the JTable. I don't know but you should be able to use something in the vicinity of

String.parseString(JTable);

Then you just need to write that string to the file.

Did you check what you have written? I guess not because it doesn't make any sense at all. The OP needs to get the TableModel from the JTable. The Model has methods getColumnCount() and getRowCount() as well as a getValueAt( ... ) method. The OP should use those to fetch the data from the model and write it to a file.
