Inserting text from one JTextpane to another

Question

How do i insert text from one jTextpane to another with the attributes i used in the first. Please help.

Answer 1

i'm using a defaultstyleddocument. Also.....if u know
how i can transfer this data through a
DataOutputStream to another computer.Hi again,
DefaultstyledDocument uses a tree-structure with classes in it, that implements the Element-Interface to hold the styles. It is very easy to get the plain text, but what you need to transfer a part of text from one JTextPane with DefaultStyledDocument in it to another with the same document-style in it, is a sequence of (string, AttributSet) - pairs, so you are able to insert them in the destination document by the insertString(...)-method.
It is easy to get the Element by postion from the document and retrieve the Attributset from it that it uses in that position. I guess, an approach would be, to do the following:
get the Attributset at the start of the text = AttributSet of the pair
scan the document until the set changes
extract the string from start to the position right before the set changes = string of the pair
store the (String,AttributSet)-pair in a Vector
do this in the same way, but this time the "start" will be the position of the start of the new Attributset that causes the end of the scan above.
When this is done for the hole text, that is to be transferred, you have a Vector with the String-AttributSet-pairs that you can use to insert them in the other JTextPane by calling the
insertString(...)-method with this values.
Tell me, what you are thinking about that - I don't know another method for this and had to create a solution on the fly for you, so that is perhaps not the best way to do it.
