The problem is that Java hasn't enough time to repaint. Try it using a separate thread for the task. I've used SwingWorker to create a console for the Java output and it Works.
( Sorry for my bad english, I'm spanish ) _____ "Hay que inventarse un sueño para que el infinito no nos haga llorar" Anónimo -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de Salome Harrison Enviado el: viernes, 06 de junio de 2003 15:15 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: JTextArea problem Hi all, Let me first tell you what I am trying to do. I want to run a script and display the output from the script in a JTextArea or JTextPane in real time as it comes from the script. This is an excerpt of what I am doing: String output = new String(); Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process p = rt.exec(someexecutable); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream())); while((output = br.readLine()) != null) { output += "\n"; System.out.println(output); outputTextArea.append(output); } br.close(); My problem is that the output in the JTextArea does not show up until the script is finished or all the output is done. However, the System.out is printing the output in real time as I would like the JTextArea to do. What am I missing? Please help. Thanks, Salom __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
