i'm really really desperate i would have solved it my self but my deadline is close
thanx

So what happens when you run this? Is there any error? Any exception? Or the code itself doesn't compile?

Goldest

A couple of comments (and you haven't actually told us the problem you're having).
Why are there multiple carList arrays?
Why are these pre-populated with the same data that is in the file?
Surely you are expected to read the data in from the file and make a single list of Car objects that you can then search?

hi
when i run the program the GUI runs fine but nothing happens when i search for a car
and i tried to read from the file but there was too many problems that i couldn't fix so i decided to put the information in an array

OK, then put the info an an array, not several.
At least that way it'll be easier to reference.

Also it should be at least static. At the moment you have one for every instance of Car and CarSpec which is a bit OTT.

Anyway, that aside, you're going to have to stick debugging statements in there (Sys out println()), mainly in the search() method at a guess t see what it's doing (and returning).

also i have to use these 2 constructors

Code:

---

public CarSpec(String type ,String make, String model,float engineSize ,String fuel , int ageInMonths,String colour)

---

Code:

---

public Car(String regNumber,double price,CarSpec spec)

---

So use them.
Make the Car and CarSpecs, based on that array.

believe it or not this all array mess was done by my teacher he is the one who told me to do this and now I'm totally lost and i have no clue about what to do

my idea is to get the information of the cars and put it in an array
then get the Spec of the users car and put it in an array the match the 2 array and get the index of the cars that has all the user's car spec and print it
i just dont know how to start with this

You need to look at the error messages you get when it fails.
A few are:
1. In Interface.actionPerformed, engineString and ageString are not initialized.
2. "Any" is typed as "ANY" in at least one place.
3. In CarSpec.search, first for loop, y<=15 should be y<15 or you go out of bounds
4. In the for loops below that will never run. I think you need i<15. The != "Any" check will work better outside the for loop for efficiency.

I stopped there.

I can see that can be confusing. Your teacher has possibly muddied the waters a bit and not explained what the arrays are that you've been given.

They are a stand-in for the text file, so they only need to be used to create the array of Cars and the array of CarSpecs.

So you only need to use them when your code starts up, and they're only needed until the Car and CarSpec arrays are built.

Something along the lines of:

Start program.
Build CarSpec array from the static (single) array of car data.
Build Car array from the static array of car data (and CarSpecs).
Display stuff to user...etc etc.

hi
thanx for helping me out every one i solved the problem and the program is working now
i just have one small problem can you pleas check out the JTextField and the JButton called btnNext i don't know why I'm not getting any thing from the TextFields
and before i submit the program do you have any comments on the the program that can help me improve it and do you think i should add more comments or the one there are enough
cheers

1. What happen/not happen when you click btnNext?
2. What do you want happen/ do not want happen when you click btnNext?

well there are 2 buttons one is called Next and the second one is called Enter
what i want to do is when the user clicks button Next it checks the textfield if there is an input button then btnEnter.setEnabled(true); and if there is no input then a message is displayed telling the user to enter input in the text fields
what is happening now is whenever i click button Next the btnEnter.setEnabled(true); whether there is input in the text fields or not

Try to also check if the textfield is empty. I am not an expert but base on
what I have read on some tutorials blank string is different to null string

Code:

---

    String firstString = "";
    //is different from
    String firstString = null;

---

you just have to check the textfield if it is null OR empty

Code:

---

    [b]EXMAPLE:[/b]
    if(firstString == null || firstString.isEmpty())
    {  //do something
    }

---

Good Luck!

thanx man that did help
but now i have a different problem
can you check this part from the code above

Code:

---

lblName=new JLabel("Hello  Mr/Mrs : "+nameField.getText());
                        lblName.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
                        lblName.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(240,30));
                        infoPanel.add(lblName);

                        lblPhone=new JLabel("Phone Number : "+phoneField.getText());
                        lblPhone.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
                        lblPhone.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(240,30));
                        infoPanel.add(lblPhone);

                        lblEmail=new JLabel("Email : "+emailField.getText());
                        lblEmail.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
                        lblEmail.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(240,30));
                        infoPanel.add(lblEmail);

---

i need to print the information from the JTextFields in these JLabels but it's not doing that

Code:

---

                        lblName=new JLabel("Hello  Mr/Mrs : "+nameField.getText());
                        lblName.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
                        lblName.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(240,30));
                        infoPanel.add(lblName);
  . . .

It looks like you are setting these labels at creation time while the textfields are still empty.
Be sure the labels aren't created before the text is entered into the textfields. You can use an actionlistener for each textfield that re-creates the corresponding label with the additional info.

hosscomp is correct. You are trying to give value to lblName on creation time, and at that time nameField is empty or null.
but you can set the Text at runtime (even after the creation) using setText() method.

Code:

---

lblName.setText("Your text here");
