get numeric value from a text field

[Lehane_9]

private int amount;
private amountTxt;

amountTxt = new JTextField(1);
c.add(amountTxt);

amount = amountTxt.getText();// i need the to use the value of amount below (price * amount)

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Ticket price: €"+(price*amount)+".00"

Help would be appreciated thanks.

Code:

amount = Integer.parseInt(amountTxt.getText());

Notice that the euros are not integer. You can use Float.parseFloat() (or Decimal...) instead.
