I am trying to take in user input and storing it in a text file, I was able to take in the input and storing it but now i am trying to display that input in a \[code\]JOptionPane\[/code\] window. Can someone please help me. I am new on stackflow and this is my first post. \[code\]/*Here i am taking in user input and storing it in a file called "dictionary.txt".*/public static String addNewWord()throws IOException{ String newWord = ""; newWord = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter the word you want to add to your dictionary."); FileWriter aDictionary = new FileWriter("dictionary.txt", true); PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(aDictionary); out.println(newWord); out.close(); aDictionary.close(); return newWord;}/* Now i am trying to read "dictionary.txt" and display it using JOptionPane*/public static String listDictionary()throws IOException{ FileReader aDictionary = new FileReader("dictionary.txt"); String aLineFromFile = FileReader; JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, aLineFromFile); aDictionary.close(); return aLineFromFile;}\[/code\]
