Parsing or Casting a JtextField? Help requested....

[Tamer Higazi]

Hi!
I have a JTextField which receives at runtime a value. Now this value
has to be inserted with a specialtype (not text) in a database.

In the java chat somebody told me that I have to parse. I know only on
C++ that the conversion a value from one datatype to one other has to be
casted.

Can somebody give me a sample?

I would thank very much for any help coming from your side

kind regards

Like special how? (Do not tell us what
it is not, tell us what it is.)

From the runtime the values in a JTextField have to be assigned to
variables with the following datatype:

short
byte
int

I don't know how to do that!

For any help

Thank you

I don't know how to do that!

Short.parseShort(String s)
Byte.parseByte(String s)
Integer.parseInt(String s)

More generally, if you need to do something with e.g. an int and don't
know how to do it, it is always worth scanning the methods in Integer to
see if one helps.
