    See the PrintWriter class for writing text to a file.

    I found this very simple application for the PrintWriter.

    // Demonstrate PrintWriter 
    import java.io.*; 
    public class PrintWriterDemo { 
    public static void main(String args[]) { 
    PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(System.out, true); 
    pw.println("This is a string"); 
    int i = -7; 
    pw.println(i); 
    double d = 4.5e-7; 
    pw.println(d); 
    } 
    }

    So I just set the file name on the PrintWriter, but how do I copy the string on the Jtextfield?

    how do I copy the string on the Jtextfield?
    Read the API doc for the JTextfield class. It has a method for getting the text it contains as a String.
