Hi i am only learning java could any one point me in right direction to my problem. as i have not found any examples to work from.

i need to display a tex box for a user to enter a message

but !!!!

then i have to display this message as sms back to the user

i.e
user message: john see you later before eight

i would need to display : john c u l8 b4 8

please could some one tell me how to go about this, even any examples they might know. as i have read for over a week and can't find any thing that comes near this

thanks

andrew
