Thread: Java JTextPane Save

i was trying to do some simple text formatting using JEditorPane but then as knowledge grew i found JTextPane easier to implement and more robust.

my query is how do i save the formatted text in JTextPane to file? it should be RTF or HTML or other.. as this file is not opened by the application again.

it is a chat history text file with formatted text.

thank you.

Only if you think so. One thing's sure, it won't get you more or better help.

Since you don't seem to think there's anything wrong with cross posting, why does it bother you when your cross posting is made public knowledge?

no not at all. it does not bother me at all to let others know im looking at other options also.

it is your attitude that bothers me. you seem too negative.

ok i solved it. sorry for the cross posting but here is the answer:

                    StyledDocument doc = (StyledDocument)textPaneHistory.getDocument();
 
                    HTMLEditorKit kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
 
                    //RTFEditorKit kit = new RTFEditorKit();
 
                    BufferedOutputStream out;
 
                    try {
                        out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(chooser.getSelectedFile().getName()));
 
                        kit.write(out, doc, doc.getStartPosition().getOffset(), doc.getLength());
 
                    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
 
                    } catch (IOException e){
 
                    } catch (BadLocationException e){
 
                    }

Huh? Please tell me which sentence or word in my postings helped you to infer my "attitude."
