Turn JTextArea Input into Variable

Hey Everyone,


I'm working on a small application involving moving text input by a user from one JTextArea to another. There will be other actions going on here but that is the bulk of it.

How exactly do I turn the text that is input into the first JTextArea and turn it into a variable so that I can move it to the next JTextArea.

Hope this is clear.

hi ...

ok just declare string variable and put the value of JTextArea on it :

string value = JTextArea1.getText();

Now put the variable inside JTextArea2 :
JTextArea2.setText(value);

I hope That answered your Question :)

Sorry !!

String with capital S :)

Wonderful! Thank you for the help!

what if you want to do a calculation and return the result the second text field

This is my code. I want to calculate tax and show the result in the tax field.
class txtHandler implements ActionListener
{

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{


double income;
//double tax = 0.25;
/*String input;
input = txt1.getText();
double txt1 = Double.parseDouble(input);
input = txt2.getText();
double txt2 = Double.parseDouble(input);*/

income = txt1 *= 0.25;

String s = txt1.getText();
String income = s ;
txt2.setText(income);

//income = (txt1 * tax);

}
}
