You don't post doubts. You post specific questions.

I have a text file containing the morse key of alphabets when the user clicks the translate button the morse key of the string or char should be readed and displayed in another text box how should i create action listener for it

You were already asked to go through the forum rules, with specific stress on the paragraph about multiple threads for the same question. I've moved the above post form a new thread and merged it here.

You have also in your response at #5 neglected the advice about code tags contained in the page linked in my response at #2. If you expect to benefit from help on a forum, you will have to go through the responses.

Note that starting any more threads about the same matter may lead to a temporary ban.
