I have some code that does a little bit of compress in a console but i
want to convert to a GUI. I am having trouble doing that. could some
one look over this code and let me know where i am going wrong.

CODE ::

I have some code that does a little bit of compress in a
console but i want to convert to a GUI.

Have you tested it properly so you know that
your console version really worked?

I am having trouble doing that. could some
one look over this code and let me know where
i am going wrong.

It would compile and the GUI itself could show, if it weren't for the method
analyzePath.

public void analyzePath()
{

You haven't declared any method "getFile" in SmallFileFrame.

File name = getFile();

JTextField doesn't have any method "exists"

if ( textField.exists() )
{

JList doesn't have any method "setText"

textArea.setText(String.format(
"%s%s\n%s%s\n%s%s\n%s%s\n%s%s\n%s%s\n%s%s",

JTextField.getName does probably not do what you expect.

textField.getName(), " exists",

JTextField doesn't have any method "isFile"

( textField.isFile() ? "is a file" : "is not a file" ),

JTextField doesn't have any method "length"

"Length: ", textField.length(),

JTextField.getName does probably not do what you expect.

textField1.getName(), " created",

JTextField doesn't have any method "length"

"Length: ", textField1.length() ) );

}
else
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( this, name + " does not exist.",
"ERROR", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
}
}
}

I think you want something like...

public boolean analyzePath(String infilename, String outfilename)
{
File infile = new File(infilename);
File outfile = new File(outfilename);

if ( infile.exists() )
{
...

return true;
}
else
{
...

return false;
}
}

....and corresponding changes within the method.

Note that I suggest that you use the strings as arguments, instead of trying
to retrieve them from the GUI *within* the method. And actually I would
suggest that you try to avoid to put the results to the GUI from within the
method as well.

You could e.g. use a boolean return value in order to see if the operation
worked or not...
