A partner and I are working on a program (yes, for homework) that is comprised of three GUI frames; the first is a simple menu with JButtons, the second is an enrollment screen that gives options (such as Passport Type, Passport Number, etc) for a user to fill out with a Jbutton to "save" the info to a .txt file, and the third is to "load" said .txt file by printing its contents within a text area in the GUI frame.
Our problem is that we can't seem to get the info to save and load from a .txt file.
We're pretty sure the file isn't being created, thus, nothing is being written to it. However we're not getting any errors thrown when it runs so we're confused at where we went wrong. If someone could take a look at it and give us some pointers, that would help immensely.
Code is below:
public class test
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
// File file = new File("enroll.txt"); used to create the file
final JFrame mainMenu = new JFrame("Error");
final int WINDOW_WIDTH = 600;
final int WINDOW_HEIGHT = 400;
FlowLayout layout = new FlowLayout();
mainMenu.setSize(WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT);
mainMenu.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
mainMenu.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
mainMenu.setLayout(layout);
Button load = new Button("Load Enrollment");
Button enroll = new Button ("New Enrollment");
mainMenu.add(load);
mainMenu.add(enroll);
mainMenu.setVisible(true);
final JFrame loadEn = new JFrame("Load");
loadEn.setVisible(false);
loadEn.setSize(WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT);
loadEn.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
loadEn.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
loadEn.setLayout(layout);
JLabel file = new JLabel("File:");
file.setVisible(true);
final JTextField fileEnter = new JTextField(10);
fileEnter.setEditable(true);
fileEnter.setVisible(true);
Button run = new Button("Run");
Button menu = new Button("Main Menu");
