I want to be able to edit and view info of users using my java program. How would i do that?

jamesdman

Sounds like you want to steal user info.

Other people's info in what? Windows? Linux? Your program?

I guess i wasn't clear earlier. I'll put it in steps.

1) i made a program
2) i want to add user profiles to it
3) i think the user profiles would be saved on a text file (not sure about this part)
4) then i added an address book to save a user's info
5) finally i want to be able to edit this info using my program rather than changing its code.
6) i try to post it here but its sorta too big.
7) i try to post it here as an attactchment but .java isn't allowed.
8) so i ask for help here.

can someone tell me how i can do that in MY PROGRAM. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY WINDOWS ACCOUNT OR A GAME ACCOUNT. I AM TALKING ABOUT MY PROGRAM.

hope this is better

Yes. Make a User class with a function that will read in all its info from a stream. Once you open the file, read in Users and stick them on an array list until end of file. Or did you want implementation

Stick it in [code] tags - it'll be fine, I promise. To help you, we really need to know how your user database is structured.

If u give me ur msn or aim, i'll send u the code.....or i could email it to u.

Btw, i don't know how to use [] these. I won't learn them until next year so if u could explain a bit, it would be helpful.

Put your code inside them:
[ code] Blah Blah Blah [/code]
(but remove the space from the first one). It will look like this:
