private void requestJButtonActionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
{

Writer fw = null;

try
{
fw = new FileWriter( "customer.txt" );
fw.write( phoneJTextField + "," + postcodeJTextField );
}
catch ( IOException e ) {
System.err.println( "Cannot write to file" );
}
finally {
if ( fw != null )
try { fw.close(); } catch ( IOException e ) { }

}

Code:

JTextField phoneJTextField    = new JTextField("Beachwood 45789");
JTextField postcodeJTextField = new JTextField("99231");
Writer fw = null; 

try 
{ 
    fw = new FileWriter( "customer.txt" ); 
    String phoneNumber = phoneJTextField.getText();
    String postalCode = postcodeJTextField.getText();
    fw.write( phoneNumber + "," + postalCode ); 
}
catch ( IOException e ) { 
    System.err.println( "Cannot write to file" ); 
} 
finally { 
    if ( fw != null ) 
    try {
        fw.close();
    } catch ( IOException e ) {
        System.out.println("Close error: " + e.getMessage());
    } 
}

sorry i should have explained the programme i guess.
phoneJTextField etc will have user input on a form.

when a button is pressed i would like the programme to write what is in the fields to file...having trouble getting this working

Code:

BufferedWriter wrt = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(
					"test/test2.txt"));
wrt.append(phoneJTextField.getText());
wrt.close();

That should be in your ActionListener for the button you press.
