Java Forum / GUI / April 2005How to add rows of text to JTextArea
Is a way to add text to a JTextArea as rows? For instance : row1 row2 row3 ? take a look at the insert method of the JTextArea or if you want it at the very end the append method. for your example it would be JTextArea ta = JTextArea(); ta.appen("row1\n"); ta.appen("row2\n"); ta.appen("row3\n"); you may want to investigate the line-breaking further as I am not sure this will work on all platforms. but both the append and the insert methods seem to do the job you ask. ---- Daniel http://www.daik.se >Is a way to add text to a JTextArea as rows? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >? > take a look at the insert method of the JTextArea > or if you want it at the very end the append method.

Best, Gil (comp.lang.java.gui) > It works! ta.append("row1\n"); Thanks very much for the help! If you give some importance to portability (wich could be the case since you're using Java), this is better: ta.append("row1" + System.getProperty("line.separator")) ; > If you give some importance to portability (wich could be the case since > you're using Java), this is better: > > ta.append("row1" + System.getProperty("line.separator")) ; No, not at all. line.separator identifies the operating system's line separator, not the line separator used inside of Java. Java always uses just '\n', except in I/O methods like like BufferedReader.readLine(), which are supposed to to the necessary conversion. If you append System.getProperty("line.separator") you in fact make your application less portable, not more. /Thomas  SignatureThe comp.lang.java.gui FAQ: ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/NEWS.ANSWERS/computer-lang/java/gui/faq > Java always uses > just '\n', except in I/O methods like like > BufferedReader.readLine(), which are supposed to to the > necessary conversion. Ok, I missed that, thanks. I thought '\n' was "generally acceptable" but not the canonical thing. Good so, I guess every imaginable artifact you cuould implent a VM for should have something you can map '\n' to. > If you append System.getProperty("line.separator") you in > fact make your application less portable, not more.
