if(e.getSource()==btn1)
{
paragraph=txtAreaArticle.getText();
if (paragraph == "\n\n")
{
return 1 && countPara+1;
txtField1.setText(countPara);
}
}i wan set count how many paragraph for a article in my textArea. Then the number of paragraph will display on textfield. any one can help me?
Are you doing bit operations to count? Create a variable called nrParagraphs and increment it, nrParagraphs = nrParagraphs + 1, each time \n\n is read in. Alternatively, you could increment it every time a tab was read in.
Strings in Java cannot be compared using '=='. You need to use the equals method of the String class. So basically
if (paragraph == "\n\n")convert this to
if (paragraph.equals("\n"))Also are paragraphs always going to be with two new lines ("\n\n"), if not what you could do is:
if (paragraph.startsWith("\n"))So that this could handle one or multiple new lines as well ;)

txtField1.setText(nrParagraphs);PartOfSpeech.java:91: setText(java.lang.String) in javax.swing.text.JTextComponent cannot be applied to (int)
txtField1.setText(nrParagraphs);
how to fix tis part as well to count ar?
the problem here is setText() method takes a string as an input, and 'nParagraphs' is an int.
Solution: Converting the int to String first.
txtField1.setText(String.valueOf(nrParagraphs));the problem here is
setText()method takes a string as an input, and 'nParagraphs' is an int.Solution: Converting the int to String first.
txtField1.setText(String.valueOf(nrParagraphs));
if like tat, how i count the number of paragraph from text area?

4 errorsi code the system again, can anybody fix the error for me?
I had just suggested to convert the value of the int before setting it as the text of the text field, using String.valueOf() and not to convert the variable.
And for the errors here are the causes:
1. paragraph is already defined
String paragraph;
int paragraph = 0;Defining the same variable with two different types may make the compiler not know when to use what and go mad eventually. ;)
2. incompatible types
paragraph=txtAreaArticle.getText();when you say getText be assured that the JVM will return text and not int so please be a good boy and assign what it returns to a string and not int ;)
3. countLinesIn(java.lang.String) in PartOfSpeech cannot be applied to (int)
public int countLinesIn(String article)
...
then
paragraph = countLinesIn(paragraph); ????This is where you don't trust yourself. You write a method that takes a string as an input and then, surprisingly, put an int param into it, and then, even more surprisingly, assign, what the method returns to the same variable that you gave it as input. What are you doing here please let me know ?
4. cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor BufferedReader(java.lang.String)
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(article);Hmm.. here the compiler tells you that it cannot find a method in the BufferedReader class that creates a BufferedReader object that takes a String as an input. Here are the docs for the BufferedReader class tell me whether you can find one ?
Here you try to create a BuffereReader object by giving it a string to eat, but a BufferedReader object cannot be created by giving it a string it needs to gulp down a Reader to do so.
Solution, for the first the three errors : Remove this
int paragraph = 0;Solution for the last error : Read the docs sited above.

}Thanks for suggestion, if i wan simplify the system can? coz i jz wan the button can auto calculate the number of paragraph from the input text area. then the number can display at textfield1. Can u help me in tis? Sorry make u dizzy, coz i also blur ady.
What do you mean by auto calculate ?
What do you mean by auto calculate ?
cant said is auto calculate, but is when i press the button, then will detect how many paragraph tat in text area and show the number of paragraph in text field.
Then you need to write code in your actionPerformed method that will detect when the button is clicked, get the text from wherever the paragraphs are, and read through it, counting the number of times you see '\n\n' (or however you decide to count paragraphs). After you do all of that, use the setText method on your textField to display the number of paragraphs you saw.
edit: I just checked your code and it should already do all of that. You need to write some error code to make sure that
1. It's already going into that if statement (the right button was clicked & the code that I described above executed)
2. Your method to count paragraphs actually works correctly
etc
I think what he wants is that it should happen not on the click of the button but as the user types into the textarea. Meaning as soon as the user enters a new line in the text, he should see the paragraph count incremented. If this is what you need you will have to catch the keystrokes as the user types and look for the keymap of the enter key. For this you will need to implement the KeyListener interface. Check the APi for the same on the link given for details. But if this is not what you are mentioning, detail out what you need to achieve.
Actually, a DocumentListener is better suited to that purpose. Read more about the Document model here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/generaltext.html#document

tat is wat i mean. u understand wat i said. so hope any can help me out in detail.
