Modifying Text in a JTextArea Component
The text in a text area can be modified using the method described in
Modifying Text in a JTextComponent. However, the text area
supports a similar set of convenience editing methods that are
demonstrated in this example.
// Create the text area JTextArea ta = new JTextArea("Initial Text"); // Insert some text at the beginning int pos = 0; ta.insert("some text", pos); // Insert some text after the 5th character pos = 5; ta.insert("some text", pos); // Append some text ta.append("some text"); // Replace the first 3 characters with some text int start = 0; int end = 3; ta.replaceRange("new text", start, end); // Delete the first 5 characters start = 0; end = 5; ta.replaceRange(null, start, end);
