Hi,
I'm not sure of understand your problem: do you need to get a text that is in a TextArea and save it in a text file? If this is true, you don't need to use the FileDilagog.SAVE (I don't know if you need it for other things in your program).
So, to save a file from your java program you need to use the "java.io.FileWriter" class. Here is an example:
The FileWriter class needs a File object "f" in the example, where you specify the name and location of the text file...
public static void main(String[] args) {
java.io.File f = new java.io.File("C:\\myNewFile.txt");
try {
java.io.FileWriter fileOut = new java.io.FileWriter(f);
fileOut.write("What I write here it will be inside the txt file");
// Remember to close the FileWriter...
fileOut.close();
catch (java.io.IOException e) {
System.err.println("Error writing the file");
I hope this could help you.
Bye.
