hi,
u have a textfield and u only want it to take strictly alphabets as strings and u have to get the name from this field and compare it before determining if it is all alphabets cause u dont want it to take numbers.if u get the text from the textfield what do u compare it to to ensure that this condition is true and if it is false i want it to display an error message saying u are only allowed to use alphabets for this kind of field.i know how to display the message but what do i compare the name from the textfield with to ensure that the condition is true? i cant seem to figure it out
i appreciate an answer

You can use the following methods of the Character class. isDigit(), isLetter(), etc. You want to loop through each character in your string and to the check you need to do. Check the API for more info.

TextField or JTextField? The solution depends on which.
