Interesting Question.

[carlos123]

Ok, let me explain my problem. I am making a program which writes a program in a .txt file. It is run by a GUI. For example if the user wants to add a button or a label they click the "add button" or "add jlabel" buttons and it will add it too an array and then you can finish the program, and in the text file it will be writen in java. One of the functions that you can choose for the button is too dispose of the jframe (f1.dispose();) Just check out the following code, this is a very unique assignment and its hard to explain.

this creates an array with all the stuff thats gunna be written to the txt file

there are 2 check boxes that you can select if you want to change text and/or dispose of the frame. i need a way to where if the user selects only one of the 2 choices in the code writen to the txt file it will ONLY be the choice that was selected, but with the code i have now it just writes them all. this is extreamly hard to explain, but thanks for checking this out.

listener.add("public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event); \n  {");
            for(int i = 0;  i< button.size(); i++){   
            listener.add("if (event.getSource() == b"+i+")");
            listener.add("{");
                //action events text:a dispose:f
            for(int a = 0;  a< textcheckarray.size(); a++){
               ts = textcheckarray.get(a);
                   if (ts.equals("selected"))   //check box
                   {
 
                      listener.add("textbox.setText(changetext)");
 
 
 
                    }
 
                }
            for(int f = 0;  f< disposecheckarray.size(); f++){
               ds = disposecheckarray.get(f);
                if (ds.equals("selected"));   //checkbox
                {
                    listener.add("f1.dispose()");
 
 
                }
 
 
            } 
            listener.add("");
            listener.add("}");
            }
 
 
 
this is the part that writes the file.
 
 try{
        FileWriter outfile = new FileWriter("program.txt");
        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(outfile);
 
        for(int i = 0;  i< importstatements.size(); i++)
               out.println(importstatements.get(i));
 
        out.println(classname);
        out.println("{");
            for(int i = 0;  i< variables.size(); i++)
               out.println(variables.get(i));
 
        out.println(constructor);
            for(int i = 0;  i< const_statements.size(); i++)
               out.println(const_statements.get(i));
        out.println("}");
             for(int i = 0;  i< listener.size(); i++)
               out.println(listener.get(i));
        out.println("}");
        out.println("}");
 
        out.close();

example:
if i make 3 buttons and each of them has different choices of weather they dispose or change text this happens.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class fddffd implements ActionListener

f1.show();
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event); 
  {
if (event.getSource() == b0)
{
textbox.setText(changetext) // this one was spose to only have "f1.dispose"
textbox.setText(changetext)
textbox.setText(changetext)
f1.dispose()
f1.dispose()
 
}
if (event.getSource() == b1)  // this one was only spose to change text
{
textbox.setText(changetext) 
textbox.setText(changetext)
textbox.setText(changetext)
f1.dispose()
f1.dispose()
 
}
if (event.getSource() == b2) // this one was spose to do nothing
{
textbox.setText(changetext)
textbox.setText(changetext)
textbox.setText(changetext)
f1.dispose()
f1.dispose()
 
}
if (event.getSource() == b3)
{
textbox.setText(changetext)
textbox.setText(changetext)
textbox.setText(changetext)
f1.dispose()
f1.dispose()
 
}
}
}
 

what happens when you write it to a txt file, THATS the txt file that was written

[JosAH]

               ts = textcheckarray.get(a);
                   if (ts.equals("selected"))   //check box
 
[ ... ]
 
               ds = disposecheckarray.get(f);
                if (ds.equals("selected"));   //checkbox
 
[ ... ]
 

These tests seem to succeed for every 'ts' and 'ds'. Since I can't see the type
of 'textcheckarray' and 'disposecheckarray' I can't tell anything more.

kind regards,

Jos

        textcheckarray = new ArrayList<String>();
        disposecheckarray = new ArrayList<String>();

this?

i know this is annoying, but for the sake of giving you all the elements you need to solve my problem and the fact that i am confused, i will show you all my code. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help!

Please don't do that; you just posted a whole lot of wallpaper for us to just find
out what you couldn't find yourself? Please try to narrow it down as much as
possible. Hint: System.out.println() sprinkled in your code at tactical places can
be of much help; give it a try.

kind regards,

Jos
