Printing out to dialog box

[bigDaddyJohn]

I need to print the following completely in one Joption.pane

Excuse name # of excuses

My dog ate it 15
It got burned 12
I lost it 18
I ate it 23
It fell down the sewer 16
It got shredded 44
I forgot it 19
I can't remember where I put it 17
Coffee spilled on it 0
My daughter colored on it 1

The Excuse Coffee spilled on it had the max numer of excuses
The Excuse My daughter colored on it had the min numer of excuses
Total number of excuses: 264

But my output is only one window at a time

Any help would be appreciated!

Look at your code you are telling it to show a new dialog with one message in it each time it iterates. Its doing exactly what you are telling it to do. Is there a way you can think of telling it to print the full contents in one dialog?

also your get excuses doesn't iterate through and print out each excuse, it just returns the whole array.

I still don't understand, call me slow...I orginally set this up as a println and it compile or prointed out correctly, I though it would do the same with JOPtion, I'm a bit slow......

There is no way to make it more clear.

Look at your code you are telling it to show a new dialog with one message in it each time it iterates.

for ( i = 0; i < getExcuses().length;i++){
           if (getNums()[i] == 99){
                 
               javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Excuses name   # of excuses");
               javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,getExcuses()[i] + "    " + 0);
                 
                 
           }]

This code says: i is your counter every time it loops if the value of your Array is equal to 99 show these two JOption Panes. getExcuses() does not iterate through the Array it just returns it. Its the same as saying Excuses[i]. Its only going to print the value at that index. Your getExcuses() either has to iterate through each index, or you could pass a String that stores the results of iterating through your String Array.

Ok, I've revised my code, after reading and getting my head out of my arse, but I missed something!

My popup dialog box comes up and displays the information, rather displays in a one line than like:

Excuse name # of excuses

My dog ate it 15
It got burned 12
I lost it 18
I ate it 23
It fell down the sewer 16
It got shredded 44
I forgot it 19
I can't remember where I put it 17
Coffee spilled on it 0
My daughter colored on it 1

The Excuse Coffee spilled on it had the max numer of excuses
The Excuse My daughter colored on it had the min numer of excuses
Total number of excuses: 264

If you were to print out the String 'str' you woudl see that there are no line breaks in there.
Not sure if a JTextField can have line breaks, though, so you may want to use a JTextArea.
