Displaying a file contents in TextArea of a GUI

[Ahmed Mohamed]

hi friends,
can any one direct me in how to display the contents of a file in a textArea of a GUI.....for example

the program should read a paragraph from a file ...this paragraph should be displayed in the TextArea in the GUI which is designed previously....how do i do that...?

THANKS

after you've read in/separated the part of the file you want
textArea.setText([paragraph]);

or, if you want to add it after the current text in the text area
textArea.append([paragraph]);
