    Default Display .txt file in java using eclipse

    I am trying to display a particular text file in JTextArea but eclipse keeps showing me an error.

    this the code :

    package readFile;

    import java.awt.EventQueue;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.nio.file.Path;
    import java.util.StringTokenizer;

    import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JTextField;
    import javax.swing.JButton;
    import javax.swing.JTextArea;
    import javax.swing.text.JTextComponent;

    import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
    import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;

    public class frmReadFile {

    JFileChooser dialog = new JFileChooser();

    private JFrame frmFrmreadfile;
    private JTextField txtPath;

    /**
    * Launch the application.
    */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
    try {
    frmReadFile window = new frmReadFile();
    window.frmFrmreadfile.setVisible(true);
    } catch (Exception e2) {
    e2.printStackTrace();
    }
    }
    });
    }

    /**
    * Create the application.
    */
    public frmReadFile() {
    initialize();
    }

    /**
    * Initialize the contents of the frame.
    */
    private void initialize() {
    frmFrmreadfile = new JFrame();
    frmFrmreadfile.setTitle("frmReadFile");
    frmFrmreadfile.setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
    frmFrmreadfile.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXI T_ON_CLOSE);
    frmFrmreadfile.getContentPane().setLayout(null);

    txtPath = new JTextField();
    txtPath.setBounds(10, 11, 272, 27);
    frmFrmreadfile.getContentPane().add(txtPath);
    txtPath.setColumns(10);

    JButton btnBrowse = new JButton("Browse");
    btnBrowse.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
    int pFile = dialog.showOpenDialog(null);
    if (pFile == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
    File file = dialog.getSelectedFile();
    try {
    txtPath.setText("" + file);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Error : " + e.getMessage());
    }
    }
    }
    });
    btnBrowse.setBounds(319, 11, 89, 23);
    frmFrmreadfile.getContentPane().add(btnBrowse);

    JButton btnTampil = new JButton("Tampil Teks");
    btnTampil.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    private JTextComponent tmpTeks;

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    tmpTeks.setText(null);
    String path = txtPath.getText();
    File file = new File(path);
    try {
    FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(file);
    DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
    String strLine;
    while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(strLine, ".");
    tmpTeks.setText(tmpTeks.getText() + st.nextToken() + "\n");
    }
    in.close();
    } catch (Exception e2) {
    System.out.println("Error : " + e2.getMessage());
    }
    }
    });
    btnTampil.setBounds(10, 49, 89, 23);
    frmFrmreadfile.getContentPane().add(btnTampil);

    Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at readFile.frmReadFile$3.actionPerformed(frmReadFile .java:85)
    There was a null value when the statement at line 85 was executed. Look at line 85 and find where the null value was. Then back track in the code to see where the null value came from.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
