Converting from a String to a StringBuffer

[Tom Patrick]

I know how to convert a StringBuffer into a String, but how do I do the reverse process?

Just pass on the Stringbuffer object into String and create a new object.
String s = new String(stringBuffer);
vice versa use toString();

"Dean J",
The Java Ranch has thousands of visitors every week, many with surprisingly similar names. To avoid confusion we have a naming convention, described at http://www.javaranch.com/name.jsp . We require names to have at least two words, separated by a space, and strongly recommend that you use your full real name. Please choose a new name which meets the requirements.
Thanks.

To get a String from a StringBuffer use the toString() method of the StringBuffer object.
To get a StringBuffer from a String, create a new StringBuffer with the String as its constructor argument.

String a = "Hello";
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(a);
buf.append(", World");
String result = buf.toString();
