How to save a text box to a text file in SWT?
I have a GUI and in this GUI I have a text box. After typing something in the textbox, I would like to save these characters in the text box to a text file by clicking a button in the toolbar.
How can I do it in SWT?
Please see this question for more information on how I create the text box:

As I said in the other question, once you make "txt" accessible from elsewhere in you code, then you can get the text simply by calling txt.getText() and so the code to write this to a text file could be as simple as...
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter("textfile.txt");
writer.println(txt.getText());
writer.close();ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

Where should I create psd folder?
ASKER
Hi Valeri,
Also, I did this in the Gui.java file:
private static CTabItem txt;
Is this correct?
Also, I did this in the Gui.java file:
private static CTabItem txt;
Is this correct?
"private static CTabItem txt;" - no, it's not correct, it should be of type Text:
static Text txt;
psd folder should be subfolder of the root.
static Text txt;
psd folder should be subfolder of the root.

I did all these steps except the psd folder. I created this psd folder manually but I am not sure how I will put RWFile.java file in this folder.
If I create a class, it does not go under psd folder because I need to select a package. If I put the RWFile.java file as a file in that folder then it Gui.java does not see this file.
Can you please help?

So, this is my directory structure in the attachment. I have the RWFile.java in the package. The swtFile.txt is in the psd folder.
But I am getting this error:
But I am getting this error:
readFromFile problem:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: \psd\swtFile.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:120)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:79)
at java.io.FileReader.<init>(FileReader.java:41)
Try removing the leading slash from that path, so...
private static final String fileName = "/psd/swtFile.txt";
should be...
private static final String fileName = "psd/swtFile.txt";
private static final String fileName = "/psd/swtFile.txt";
should be...
private static final String fileName = "psd/swtFile.txt";

I tried it and I got rid of one of the errors. But I still get this error:
This is what I have in those lines:

ToolBarListener.java:41

Do you have any idea why I am getting this exception?

Do you have any idea why I am getting this exception?Because at that point in your code (Gui.java : 61) either "txt" or "rwFile" are null. How are you declaring and initialising those variables?
ASKER
@mcccarl: This is how I declare them:
static Text txt;
static RWFile rwFile = new RWFile();
Ok then, so I would say that most likely the NullPointerException is due to the "txt" variable being null (since rwFile is immediately intialised).
Where do you assign the variable "txt" a value? And does that ALWAYS happen before the user can click the toolbar button to read from the file into the Text field? (Perhaps if you can post the whole code, it might be quicker for us to debug rather than getting in tiny snippets)

I see.
This is the GUI.java file:
And this is the RWFile.java:
This is the TolbarListener.java:
This is the CustomToolbar.java:
This is the ChangeListDlg.java:
Note: My code tries to read a file in the psd folder which locates in the root of the project. However, my main aim is to read any file that is on the machine. So, I want to be able to browse and select the file that I want to read.
I really appreciate for your help,

}Note: My code tries to read a file in the psd folder which locates in the root of the project. However, my main aim is to read any file that is on the machine. So, I want to be able to browse and select the file that I want to read.
I really appreciate for your help,
