How can I store user input from GUI into a text file?

[drew taylor]

Hi, I have spent ages trying to get this to work. I'm trying to store the value of a textBox into a textFile when the button is clicked.

Instead of out.println("This is line 1"); would I use something like:

out.println(textBox.text) ??

private void displayDetailsButtonMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {                                                  
 
        String value = "C:\\textfile.txt";
        FileWriter outFile = null;
        try {
            outFile = new FileWriter(value);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
            PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(outFile);
             
             // Also could be written as follows on one line
             // Printwriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(args[0]));
        
            // Write text to file
             out.println("This is line 1");
            out.println("This is line 2");
              out.print("This is line3 part 1, ");
              out.println("this is line 3 part 2");
              out.close();
