Getting multiple lines of output trying to copy from JTextField to console
I am working on this program which connects to a remote server via telnet or SSH (user can choose the connection type) and the output is output to the console (default System.out
).
I wrote code to write to JTextField
everything that was written to the console.
What I wanted to do next was to try and make it so that the user can also Enter their own commands through JTextArea
, and whenever they hit the enter button, the code they typed will be sent.
For my own debugging purposes, I wanted to print to the console first the user's login to make sure I was sending the correct data.
I have this little piece of code here.
// jtxt is a JTextField i defined earler in code
// and the variable J is a String.
jtxt.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent ke) {
if (ke.getKeyChar() == ke.VK_ENTER) {
j = jtxt.getText();
System.out.println(j);
}
}
});
The only problem I ran into was I tested it myself and my jtextarea had the text "admin", so string j = "admin"
but when I printed it to the screen, it would print a million words "admin". "Any ideas? BTW, theres no loop even next to addKeyListener.
