I am trying to convert values of a 2D ArrayList to a string to that I can print them onto a JTextArea. However, everytime I run my program, the 2D ArrayList is still in the square brackets. Does anyone know a fix for this?
private void listButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
for (int row = 0; row <= count; row++) {
employeeDisplay.setText(String.valueOf(employeeRecords.get(row)));
}
}
Try this in your for loop :
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
for (String value : employeeRecords.get(row)) {
builder.append(value);
}
String text = builder.toString();
employeeDisplay.setText(text);
OR
String formatedString = employeeRecords.get(row).toString()
.replace(",", "") //remove the commas
.replace("[", "") //remove the right bracket
.replace("]", "") //remove the left bracket
.trim();
employeeDisplay.setText(formatedString);
