How to add a feature to save a file in GUI

[Mallu]

I have created the file menu. In that I have saveAs Icon. Once the user clicks
on that Icon, how to save the file?

Depends on what you are trying to save.

What you are interested in is streams and buffers. Check out the documentation
for the java.io package on Suns website. The following may get you started.
It simply opens a file and writes a line of data followed by a blank line.
Then closes the file.

import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.FileWriter;

public class Test {
private void makeData(String fileName) {
// Open the datafile.
FileWriter outFile = new FileWriter(fileName);
BufferedWriter buff = new BufferedWriter(outFile);

// Write out some data.
buff.write("This is some data");
buff.newLine();

// Close the file.
buff.close();
outFile.close();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
makeData("rob.txt");
}
}

Or were you wanting to know how to setup the event in order to save the file?
If what I have provided is not enough, please provide more info.

Thanks
