textfield - printstream - text file - to much text

[keneid]

Hi!

I using PrintStream and when i stored a text in at text field i got a lot of text.

        try
{
    // Open an output stream
    fout = new FileOutputStream ("c:/test.txt");

    // Print a line of text
    PrintStream p = new PrintStream(fout);
    p.println (path);     //<<<<------ alot of text from textfield
    p.println (username);
    p.println (password);
    p.println (port);  
    p.println ("test2"); //<<<<--------- work fine in text file
   
    // Close our output stream
    fout.close();
}
// Catches any error conditions
catch (IOException e)
{
	System.err.println ("Unable to write to file");
	System.exit(-1);
}

The output in text file look like this

java.awt.TextField[textfield0,10,10,380x23,text=Path,editable,selection=0-0]
java.awt.TextField[textfield1,10,43,380x23,text=Username,editable,selection=0-0]
java.awt.TextField[textfield2,10,76,380x23,text=Password,editable,selection=0-0]
java.awt.TextField[textfield3,10,109,380x23,text=Port,editable,selection=0-0]
test2

How can the java code only write the text for textfield to file? not everything? You can see println"test2" work.

thanks!

You are probably printing out the textfields themselves instead of the text in the textfields.
Use the getText() method of JTextField to get the text.

Thank you very much

p.println (path.getText());

text file ->
Path
