I am trying to get this code to work, but i a returning some errors that i can't get rid of.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Search extends JFrame {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          new Search();
     JLabel filename;
     public static JTextField txt=null;
     JButton button;
     public static JTextArea txtarea = null;
     JLabel lbl;
     Search() {
          JPanel panel= new JPanel();
          setContentPane(panel);
          filename =new JLabel("Enter file name:");
          txt=new JTextField(30);
          button= new JButton("Search");
          txtarea=new JTextArea(25,250);
          //lbl=new JLabel();
          txtarea.setEditable(false);
          button.addMouseListener(new MListener());
          panel.add(filename);
          panel.add(txt);
          panel.add(button);
          panel.add(txtarea);
          //panel.add(lbl);
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          setSize(500,500);
          setVisible(true);
     class MListener extends MouseAdapter
          public void mousePressed(MouseEvent evt)
               searchcomp(txt.getText());                //<--  Error: can't find simble
          public void searchcomp(String file)
               File[] drives=File.listRoots();
               for (int ctr=0;ctr<(drives.length-1);ctr++)
                    search2(drives[ctr],file);
          public void search2(File dir,String file)
               File[] directories=dir.listFiles();
               for(int ctr=0;ctr<directories.length;ctr++)
                    if(directories[ctr].isDirectory())
                         if(directories[ctr].listFiles()!=null)
                              search2(directories[ctr],file);
                    else
                         if(directories[ctr].getName().equals(file))
                              //lbl.setText(directories[ctr].getAbsolutePath());
                              txtarea.append(directories[ctr].getAbsolutePath()+"\n");       //<--  Error: can't find simble
     This program returns all the directorys of a computer
Thanks in advance

Dear jverd,
Next time paste in the exact, complete error message, and clearly indicate which line it's occurring on, rather than just paraphrasing and misspelling it.It is clearly written in the code it's self, see the green comments to the right of the code! maybe you should open your eyes next time!No need to shout.
I know what's there. I saw it before I posted previously. It is neither complete nor exact. It is a misspelled paraphrasing. It would have been clearer if you had pasted in the exact, complete error message, as I suggested, separately from the code, and also clearly indicate in the code where it occurred.
