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.pattern;
import java.util.stringtokenizer;
import java.util.vector;

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:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. import javax.swing.*;
  2. import java.awt.event.*;
  3. import java.awt.Container;
  4. public class Tamara extends JFrame implements ActionListener { //is allowed to listen for actions
  5.     private Container pane;
  6.     public Tamara() {
  7.         pane = getContentPane(); //pane will now replace getContentPane() from now onwards
  8.         setTitle("Tamara Omar");
  9.         setSize(400, 400);
  10.         JPanel panel = new JPanel();
  11.  
  12.  
  13.  
  14.         JButton edit = makeButton("Find");
  15.         JButton replace = makeButton("Replace");
  16.         //add the buttons to the panel
  17.         panel.add(edit);
  18.         panel.add(replace);
  19.         //add the panel to the frame at the bottom
  20.         pane.add(panel, "South");
  21.         setVisible(true);
  22.     }
  23.     public JButton makeButton(String label) { //creates a button
  24.         JButton jb = new JButton(label);
  25.         jb.setActionCommand(label); //This message will be set in the action for the button
  26.         jb.addActionListener(this); //this (JFrame) will respond to this button's press
  27.         return jb;
  28.     }
  29.  
  30.     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent action) {
  31.         String command = action.getActionCommand();
  32.         if(command.equals("Find")) {
  33.             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Find");
  34.         }
  35.         else if(command.equals("Replace")) {
  36.             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Replace");
  37.         }
  38.     }
  39.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  40.         new Tamara();
  41.     }
  42. }
  43.  
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!

re: plz help me for this difficult project

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

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.

re: plz help me for this difficult project

i added (replace all) and( find all) and there is no error :)
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.Container;
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("Tamara Omar");
setSize(400, 400);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();



JButton edit = makeButton("Find");
JButton edit1= makeButton("find all");
JButton replace1=makeButton("replace all");
JButton replace = makeButton("Replace");
//add the buttons to the panel
panel.add(edit1);
panel.add(replace1);
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");
}

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!

re: plz help me for this difficult project

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

No need to panic for that. That means you are using a jdk version that is not 1.5 and so your compiler does not recognise the scanner. I've just changed that to using a combination of BufferedReader and FileReader. I also figured you might want a saving functionality after replacing some words so I added that too.

The user can search for words that he/she types in on the textarea or search for words in a file on their computer. Here is an example with the find button. Note all the changes made to the code so far. Please make sure you are analysing the approach critically and try to spot some improvements.

re: plz help me for this difficult project

Hey Tamara if you are still there, you might have noticed that the search I've done is actually for findAll. So edit the actionPerformed method to something like this
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent action) {
  2.     String command = action.getActionCommand();
  3.     if(command.equals("Find")) {
  4.         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Find");
  5.     }
  6.     else if(command.equals("Replace")) {
  7.         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Replace");
  8.     }
  9.     else if(command.equals("Replace All")) {
  10.         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Replace All");
  11.     }
  12.     else if(command.equals("Find All"))    {
  13.         area.setSelectedTextColor(Color.blue);
  14.         String searchString = findText.getText();
  15.         ArrayList matches = findAll(area, searchString);
  16.         if(matches.size() == 0) {
  17.             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, searchString+" Was not found");
  18.         }
  19.         else {
  20.             try {
  21.                 for(int i = 0; i < matches.size(); i++) {
  22.                     int x = (int)(Integer)matches.get(i);
  23.                     //area.setCaretPosition(x);
  24.                     //area.moveCaretPosition(x + searchString.length());
  25.                     int z = x + searchString.length();
  26.                     area.getHighlighter().addHighlight(x, z, new DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter(Color.blue));
  27.                     area.requestFocus();
  28.                 }
  29.             }
  30.             catch(Exception e) {
  31.                 e.printStackTrace();
  32.             }
  33.  
  34.         }
  35.  
  36.     }
  37.     else if(command.equals("Open")) {  
The Find all button should be the one activated now and should now be selecting all occurrences of the search string. If you've done that right then that will be as far as we will go today. Unless you have any questions concerning what we've done so far?

Must be the 1.5 autoboxing that is not available on your compiler.
change the line to
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. int x = ((Integer)matches.get(i)).intValue();
The more errors one gets, the better one gets at programming so they are not too bad after all.

import java.util.Vector;
import java.io.*;
The classes in java.util.regex are for regular expressions. We will use these to do the search in the find, findAll, methods. You should look at the following to get a good understanding of regular expressions. I had not used them yet because I thought you might not have had a chance to look at them yet.
These are probably the best resources for them: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/releases/1.4regex/
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/regex/
If you look at this you will realise that use of regular expressions replaces StringTokenizer and so there is no point in using both of them.
Concerning the Vector, is it absolutely neccessary that it be used because it's one of those classes (like StringTokenizer) which should now be avoided. I have used ArrayList instead but can always replace it with vector if you really must use the vector.

What type of files are refusing to be opened in the text area? I can open .txt, .java, .doc(text only),. Remember we only want to search for text.

You seem to have misunderstood the last post. Only the findAll is supposed to be working right now. The current should be something like this:

FindAll is supposed to load the start positions of the found words in the ArrayList(Vector). After you've gone through the fisrt of those regex tutorials, try to write and post an implementation of findAll that uses regular expressions. If you take more than 2 hours to get it right, just post what you'll have then and we'll look at it together.

re: plz help me for this difficult project

Sounds like you are begginning to panick so here is the ReplaceAll that uses regular expressions.

1) add
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. import java.util.regex.*;
to the list of imports.

2) add the following method to the class

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. //************Does a replace all based on regular expressions*******************
  2. public void replaceAll(JTextArea area, String find, String replace) {
  3.      Pattern p = Pattern.compile(find);
  4.  
  5.     Matcher m = p.matcher(area.getText());
  6.     StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
  7.     boolean result = m.find();
  8.     while(result) {
  9.         m.appendReplacement(sb, replace);
  10.         result = m.find();
  11.     }
  12.     m.appendTail(sb);
  13.     area.setText(sb.toString());
  14.  
  15. }
3.) the n command for replace all
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. else if(command.equals("Replace All")) {
  2.        String find = findText.getText();
  3.        String replace = replaceText.getText();
  4.        replaceAll(area, find, replace);
  5.        area.requestFocus();
  6.        //JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Replace All");
  7. }

re: plz help me for this difficult project

For now just restrict to opening .txt, .java, .html.(Until you get the basics of the programme working.) If we do not put the open command then we only limit the search to text that has been entered only. I included to make the program more interesting. For example you can edit your own files by replacing some words with others and saving the changes.

Here is how you should have done the find (notice I've changed it to find next). Perhaps now you can change the findAll to use the regular expressions. When I run on my machine, I am able to match with the patterns
