Hi ive been trying to get the user input from the JTextField into my fileCreation class so i can name the file i am creating.

Here is the code:

public class window extends JFrame{
 
public static JTextField textField;
 
public window(){
 
   textField = new JTextField(20);
   add(textField);
 
   textField.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
                String input = textField.getText();
            }   
        });
   }
}
 
public class fileCreation{    
    public static void files ()throws IOException{ 
    File newFile;
    newFile = new File("C:/Users/Administrator.Dan-HP/Desktop/" + input + ".txt");
 
     if(!newFile.exists()){
         newFile.createNewFile();
      }
   }
}

not all the code just the relevant parts.

That gives an idea of what you wanted to do. But does not really ask a question that can be answered. Does the code compile? ...run? ...have any errors?

yeah it does run when i remove + input +, but i need it to know what input is so i can add it to the fileCreating class so the file can be named but it doesn't recognize it.
