Help Needed: ( get TextField source and Write in a txt file by the button click

[juniper2009]

Dear All
I am a newbie Java Learner.I try to learn over Java API Docs.But still I need some help.
I have a gui which consist of four textfields(tf1,tf2,tf3,tf4) and a button(b1).
If I press the button(b1)"Register", I want my action write whole textfield sources into a text.txt file by using buffer writer method.and also tyring to write line by line.
Here is the codes and I just want to know where I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

You have created an action listener, but you have not associated it with the button.
Check out the addActionListener method that JButton inherits from its supercalss AbstractButton

Hi, I'd like to see your entire code to see what's going on but did you try to do a System.out.println to display if the right items are being stored in an array?

System.out.println(Reg[0]);

DEAR JAMES
I have added these right after Register Button;

JButton b1=new JButton("Register");
    	b1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
    		{
    			actionPerformed(ae);  //error line
    		}

    	});

when I press the button it gives me error on the error line above.
I have checked my actionPerformed (SEE BELOW) class but i can not see anything;

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) 
    {
    	if(ae.getSource()==b1)
    	{
    	  Reg[0]=tf1.getText();
    	  Reg[1]=tf2.getText();
    	  Reg[2]=tf3.getText();
    	  Reg[3]=tf4.getText();

DEAR HARANA BOY
Please do check my reply to JAMES!

You have already defined your class Register as an ActionListener, and supplied the appropriate method (line 76) so it's a mistake to add another new listener. All you need to do is to add the current instance of Register -= as in
b1.addActionListener(this);

ps I see what you were trying to do with your new listener - call the existing listener method, but you new line 5 actionPerformed will call the version defined on line 3 (ie itself) in an infinite loop. Anyway, you don't need the new listener, just add (this)
