[Ezzaral]

Well, we can't read over your shoulder. Post the code and perhaps someone can tell you what's wrong with it.

we're not going to read that garbage.
You will have gotten a line number for the error, that will tell you where to look for your error.
Learn to read and interpret error messages, it's a vital skill.

[Ezzaral]

Yes, perhaps I should have said post the relevant code and use [code]

[/code] tags, if you want anyone to read it.

[javaAddict]

As the error says you have probably forgot to put somewhere a ")"

And if you can't debug something that simple or you don't know how to pass arguments, what are you doing writing that complex code (for you skills)?

How many programs that are executed from console have you written?
If you have written enough you should be able to fix this or at least understand that a line where the error has happened is required and not the entire code.
If not then you are moving too fast

new SearchResult(String s).setVisible(true);

Read any reference at all on Java and you will see that this is not the correct way to call a method. Method calls do not include the type with the parameter.

This is HelloWorld-level basic language semantics. I would recommend reading a lot of this: http://www.codeguru.com/java/tij/

So you did, after all, look at the code? Even though you said you wouldn't? ;-)

Just kidding.

I had the feeling it was this sort of mistake from the beginning, but I definately was not[/i] going to read all of that.

Edit: Ah, you didn't say you wouldn't, just hinted at it. ;-)

Guilty as charged...
