[nightrise420]

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Assign2
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter your first name:");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome, " + name + ", to CIS 226.");

Why can't you replicate what you have there for the next part of the name you need?

What have you tried so far? You can use another JOptionPane.showInputDialog to get the other name and the two names can be simply added togther.

Oh and also before I forget, welcome to the Java-Forums!

ohhh yeahhh. but how do i add them together?

[nightrise420]

I got it! haha it's something so easy.
But I have another question.
when the Joptionpanel comes up, and the user hits cancel, i want a certain message to pop up. how do i do that?

What do you see right now if they press cancel?

[nightrise420]

when i press cancel, it just skips and the final output is "hello ,null, null, "message"

So now you know what the JOptionPane.showInputDialog returns if the user presses "Cancel", and that is null. If you test if the returned String == null, you should be able to solve your problem.

My message dialog is showing up in a single line but i need to break it up into two lines.
I need it like this. how can i break it up?
Hello, Firstname + Lastname
Welcome to CIS 226.
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Hello, " + firstname + " " + lastname + ", Welcome to CIS 226.");

String and its method .split().... study.

Hm, I think the OP is asking more of a display question than a split question. Myself, I'd recommend you look into using an escape char such as "\n". i.e.,

      String twoLines = "Two" + "\n" + "Lines";
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, twoLines);
