I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. Could you please rephrase your question to make it clearer? What does 'search a string in my JTextArea' mean?

I would also advise using real English words, not text-speak. We are not all native English speakers. Bad spelling means you are putting unnecessary obstacles in the way of potential answerers, which in turn means a lot of people will just ignore your question.

Well, having known the string you're looking for it's pretty easy.
Textareatext=textarea.getText();
Int firstIndex = textareatext.indexOf(stringToLookFor,0);
Int lastIndex = firstIndex+stringToLookFor.length();

And now you pretty much have the starting and ending positions of your string... Is that what ur Asking?

Textareatext=textarea.getText();
Int firstIndex = textareatext.indexOf(stringToLookFor,0);
Int lastIndex = firstIndex+stringToLookFor.length();

What language is that?
Integers in Java are either int or Integer, not Int (Java is case sensitive). Also Textareatext != textareatext.

blame it on the auto-UpperCase my phone has
I know it's case sensitive, but by the way...was this what you were looking for, dilesh?
