string to numeric

Hi all

How can i convert a string from a textbox to a numeric value?

Thanks!

All numeric classes have a method parseClassType e.g. parseInt, parseFloat etc etc

Code:

---

try {
  int myValue = Integer.parseInt(textField.getText());
}
catch (NullPointerException npe) {
  // Thrown when the underlying document in the JTextField is null.
  npe.printStackTrace();
}
catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
  // Thrown if the the text field has a value that can't be parsed to an integer.
  nfe.printStackTrace();
}
