If I understand you, I think this will help. This mask will allow up to 10 characters in the field. Looking at the Javadoc will give you more options.

To really get fancy, try this link.
RegexPatternFormatter from O'Reilly Swing Book

Thanks for the reply but the problem is i cannot use both maskformatter and a formatter on text field together.I mean when i make a textfield for decimal numbers it i need to use decimal format from numberformat which i need to set precision or other properties.So if i use decimal format with JFormattedtextfield then i cannot use a mask formatter as if set it using setFormatterfactory it does not show the desired effect as two things dunno work together.hope i made myself clear
