Hi camickr,
thanks for the hint................
i had written the following code for that................is this ok.
Here i want to allow user to enter characters other than alpha and number.
javax.swing.text.MaskFormatter formatter;
          try {
               formatter = new javax.swing.text.MaskFormatter("*");
               formatter.setInvalidCharacters("0123456789ABCDEFGHHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz");
               flat_file_delimiterFormattedTextField = new javax.swing.JFormattedTextField(formatter);
          } catch (ParseException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Bad Format :","Error",javax.swing.JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
               //e.printStackTrace();
          }
