PrintEvent help

[kolt007]

Once again I have come to a halt I am in the proccess of tracking down the answer, but if someone here could save me some time that would be splendid.

PrintEvent's (for the record I have already imported the PrintEvent class) syntax is like this..

 new PrintEvent(method(args));

I have encased mine in the 'try' statment.

My only question is how do I tell java WHERE to PrintEvent(); also, what syntax do I use to do so.


Just in case you need it here's mine:

 
  PrintEvent pe = null;
  paraM = newObj(paraM);

   try {
     bw.write(paraM);
    pe = new PrintEvent(newObj(paraM));
} catch (IOException ioe) {
			}

What are you trying to create a PrintEvent object for?
Do you get errors? Please copy and paste here the full text of the error message.

[ProgramThis]

Where did you get the PrintEvent class from.

[kolt007]

 public String newObj(String paraM) {
 BufferedWriter bw = null;

  try {
     bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("Objects"+(paraM)));
     bw.write(paraM);
      objectS(paraM);
     return paraM;
} catch (IOException ioe) {
			}
           return null;
                   }
public void NewObjects(String paraM) {
//global
  BufferedWriter bw = null;
  PrintEvent pe = null;

  paraM = newObj(paraM);

   try {
     bw.write(paraM);
    pe = new PrintEvent(newObj(paraM));
} catch (IOException ioe) {
			}


   makeGlobalObject(2536, 4717, 2213, -1, 10);
}

No error's just when I go though it it doesn't print the event anywhere.

it doesn't print the event anywhere.

Where are you trying to print the contents of the PrintEvent object?

Add this statement at the end of the NewObjects method to print it:
System.out.println("pe=" + pe); // print contents of PrintEvent object

[kolt007]

Is there anyway Ican make system.out.println() or system.out.format() etc.. print in the NewObejcts() method?

[Norm]

Yes, You can use/call the System.out.println() method in any method.

[kolt007]

 call(system.out.println(paraM));

Say's 'package system does not exist

What is the syntax for call?

[Norm]

Check your spelling. Java is case sensitive.

[kolt007]

       public String newObj(String paraM) {
 BufferedWriter bw = null;

  try {
     bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("Objects//"+(paraM)));
     bw.write(paraM);
      objectS(paraM);
     return paraM;
     System.out.println(paraM);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
			}
           return null;
                    }
public void NewObjects(String paraM) {
//global
  BufferedWriter bw = null;
  PrintEvent pe = null;




call(System.out.println(newObj(paraM)));

 makeGlobalObject(2536, 4717, 2213, -1, 10);
}

Say's

 client.java:5618: 'void' type not allowed here
call(System.out.println((paraM)));
                       ^
1 error
Finished!
Press any key to continue . . .

I've tried

 call(System.out.println(paraM));

aswell say's void not allowed? It's werid because, my newObj class isn't void??

[Norm]

Try this:
System.out.println("paraM=" + paraM);

[kolt007]

 call(System.out.println(paraM));

gets

 client.java:5617: 'void' type not allowed here
call(System.out.println(paraM));
                       ^
1 error
Finished!
Press any key to continue . . .

I tried

  call(newObj(paraM));

and, got:

 client.java:5617: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method call(java.lang.String)
location: class client
call(newObj(paraM));
^
1 error
Finished!
Press any key to continue . . .

[Norm]

Where is the call(String) method defined? The compiler can not find its definition in the client class.

[kolt007]

is it a class in API or is it an interface?
