plz help me for this difficult project

[tamara omar]

i want to build a java program that can search for words in a text and can replace word by another one and the interface will be diveded as
1-a large space for a text that is chosen by user
2-a blank for written word
3-find command button
4-finf all command button
5-replace button
6-replace all
i think these packages will help
import java.util.regex .matcher;
import java.util.regex .pattern;
import java.util.strin gtokenizer;
import java.util.vecto r;
import java.io.*;

plzzz help me

If you are using regex, might as well do way with the StringTokenizer . Also replace that vector with an ArrayList.
I suppose the text comes from a file so a JFileChooser will do.
The best place to start for this is the interface. Play around with your swing and get the interface right. Help is easily available for more specific questions.

You've got plenty of time to do it right.
Let's start with the interface:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.Container;
public class Tamara extends JFrame implements ActionListener { //is allowed to listen for actions
	private Container pane;
	public Tamara() {
		pane = getContentPane(); //pane will now replace getContentPane() from now onwards
		setTitle("Tamara Omar");
		setSize(400, 400);
		JPanel panel = new JPanel();



		JButton edit = makeButton("Find");
		JButton replace = makeButton("Replace");
		//add the buttons to the panel
		panel.add(edit);
		panel.add(replace);
		//add the panel to the frame at the bottom
		pane.add(panel, "South");
		setVisible(true);
	}
	public JButton makeButton(String label) { //creates a button
		JButton jb = new JButton(label);
		jb.setActionCommand(label); //This message will be set in the action for the button
		jb.addActionListener(this); //this (JFrame) will respond to this button's press
		return jb;
	}

	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent action) {
		String command = action.getActionCommand();
		if(command.equals("Find")) {
			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Find");
		}
		else if(command.equals("Replace")) {
			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Replace");
		}
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		new Tamara();
	}
}

Look up anything you don't understand here. Post if you really won't find it in a textbook. If you feel that you get the hang of it, try to add all the buttons you need for the program and make sure they are responding to mouse click. Post when you are done. this should not take you more than 12 hours!

i couldnt see the interface because i have this error
Tamara is not abstract and does not override abstract method actionPerformed (java.awt.event .ActionEvent) in java.awt.event. ActionListener
public class Tamara extends JFrame implements ActionListener { //is allowed to listen for actions

[tamara omar]

i think that there are two missing buttons (find all, replace all) and the bordered space for the text that the user will enter to search for the missing word in it
sorry for annoying u, and im so gratefull for helping me:)

Ok one thing at a time. Can you compile and run the code above yet? Do a copy paste to take the code. It does not give an error on my compiler.


The two missing buttons will hopefully be added by you. We are going to look at the bordered space for the text next, after we've run and understood what we have so far.

[tamara omar]

i added (replace all) and( find all) and there is no error :)
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event. *;
import java.awt.Contai ner;
public class Tamara1 extends JFrame implements ActionListener { //is allowed to listen for actions
private Container pane;
public Tamara1() {
pane = getContentPane( ); //pane will now replace getContentPane( ) from now onwards
setTitle("Tamar a Omar");
setSize(400, 400);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();



JButton edit = makeButton("Fin d");
JButton edit1= makeButton("fin d all");
JButton replace1=makeBu tton("replace all");
JButton replace = makeButton("Rep lace");
//add the buttons to the panel
panel.add(edit1 );
panel.add(repla ce1);
panel.add(edit) ;
panel.add(repla ce);
//add the panel to the frame at the bottom
pane.add(panel, "South");
setVisible(true );
}
public JButton makeButton(Stri ng label) { //creates a button
JButton jb = new JButton(label);
jb.setActionCom mand(label); //This message will be set in the action for the button
jb.addActionLis tener(this); //this (JFrame) will respond to this button's press
return jb;
}

public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent action)
{
String command = action.getActio nCommand();
if(command.equa ls("Find"))
{
JOptionPane.sho wMessageDialog( this, "Find");
}
else if(command.equa ls("Replace"))
{
JOptionPane.sho wMessageDialog( this, "Replace");
}
else if(command.equa ls("replace all"))
{
JOptionPane.sho wMessageDialog( this,"replace all");
}
else if(command.equa ls("find all"))
{
JOptionPane.sho wMessageDialog( this,"replace all");
}
}


public static void main(String[] args) {
new Tamara1();
}
}

}


public static void main(String[] args) {
	new Tamara2();
}
}

And so we come to that area of yours.
I have made use of
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/examples/FileChooserDemo .java
For the FileChooser.
Note that I am trying to get the basics of the programming running so that you can then work on it to perfection later. Make sure you understand what is going on so far.
I think one of your buttons is giving the wrong message.
If you understand this, we move over to designing how the user enters their search words

Hi Soharto, nice time to join in. Wouldn't you think that if you help him/her in this forum it would benefit others who read this thread as well rather than through email. Imagine everyone in Tamara's class requesting that you help them through email for the same project!

[r035198x]

Signing off for the day now. You will see now that the rest of this exercise lies in manipulating methods of JTexArea and JTextComponent which should not take more than a day. You should now play around with those methods. Unless of course you've taken the email option.



God Bless
