how to save the results of java program as excel or word

Both word and excel have a half decent XML ... I once wrote an inbred suite of korn/nawk scripts to punch out tabular excel XML & HTML reports directly from an ingres query, coz crystal kept running out of memory (Ahh the good 'ole days, when men where men, and sheep where scared).

If you're producing documents for viewing or printing (not editing) I humbly suggest that you'll be better off sticking to well traveled path... just punch out PDF's through [url=http://www.w3schools.com/xslfo/default.asp]XSLFO[/url].

Ok first of all i made a mistake - i missed a whitespace:

File newfile = newFile("I:\\ouput.txt");

must be

File newfile = new File("I:\\ouput.txt");

Then you should wrap a try - catch bloack around the whole thing:

private File newFile(String data) throws IOException

{

File newfile = null;

try

{

newfile = new File("I:\\ouput.txt");

System.out.println("DATA? - " + data);

FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(newfile);

fos.write(data.getBytes());

fos.close();

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Save File");

}

catch (IOException ioexc)

{

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error while saving file: "+ioexc, "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

}

return newfile;

}

Then you'll just have to call the method from somewhere in your code.

I tested this applet successfully. On each startup all your contents are written to the specified text file and a Message box pops up if it was saved or if an exception occured. I didn't care about correct formatting of the string though...

the important change of your code are these lines

//Calling the save method with a string that contains all rowdata

String toPrint = "";

for (int i = 0; i<rowData.length; i++)

{

Component[] currentRowComps = rowData[i];

for (int j = 0; j><currentRowComps.length; j++)

{

Component currentComp = currentRowComps[j];

if (currentComp instanceof TextField)

{

TextField tf = (TextField)currentComp;

toPrint += tf.getText()+" - ";

}

else if (currentComp instanceof JComboBox)

{

JComboBox box = (JComboBox)currentComp;

Object selection = box.getSelectedItem();

if (selection != null)

{

toPrint += selection.toString()+" - ";

}

}

}

toPrint+="\n";

}

newFile(toPrint);

}

Well not directly from the applet menu but by a button in your applet. Therefore I readded your submit button and added the action event.

now the file will be saved as soon as you press submit.

BTW you should think about changing your layout manager. BorderLayout is not really a good choice for complex layouts.

> user inputs appear on the next row

In the text outputfile or in the gui? with the text output file you'll have to add a line break char - usually "\n" is sufficient. In the gui you definetly should switch to gridbaglayout to be able to format your gui to your needs.

> i want the start time from the other rows to not appear only when the user

> inputs a start and end time.

i don't get it. if you want some textfields to be checked for input your should get the strings via getText(), check the result for not null and for a length > 0 to verify an input.

On your other code sample you should use some loops to shorten your methods ....
