    Default Input and Output via JTextField

    How would I display certain output text if the text entered equaled "text".
    If that makes any sense.

    So lets say you enter a question into a JTextField.
    You press a button that submits the text.
    The output displayed depends on what the question you asked was.

    Think about it as "If question = What color is the sky? On submit, display text "Blue".

    I cant figure out how to implement this.
    I confused myself.

    Maybe show what you already have and then somebody could tell you where you are off.

    Do the questions that are asked have to be an exact match for the Strings the program will use to find the answer?
    For example here are two different Strings that ask the same question:
    "What color is the sky?"
    vs
    "What is the sky's color?"

    How many different Strings could ask the same question?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
