clear JTextArea

[puja]

Can anyone suggest a method to clear the text in the JTextArea?

Try using the method:
replaceRange(String str, int start, int end)
str = ""
start = 0
end = 'how ever many character you have'
There must be a cleaner way, but I'm not sure what it is!

Hi puja,
How about something simple like:
setText("");
According to API:

Sets the text of this TextComponent to the specified text. If the text is null or empty, has the effect of simply deleting the old text.

Regards,
Manfred.

MyTextArea.setText("") worked perfectly for me.

Probably worked equally well for Puja, 11 years ago.
