is there a way to write java code, using string concatenation, like "jButton"+ i, where (i) = 1,2,3...

Question

i use netbeans, and it creates the code for the buttons and text fields automatically, now can i make a method to read all the contents of these fields by a loop
like this (((for example)))

for (i=1;i<10;i++)
str+=(jTextField+i).getText()

is there something near to this?????
cuz i usually write like this
jTextField1.getText();
jTextField2.getText();
jTextField3.getText();
...

You can't do symbolic references like you're trying to do in Java, but you could make an array that has references to the textfields: JTextField fields[] = {jTextField1, jTextField2, jTextField3}; then iterate through the array. Then if you need to add more textfields you can just change the array initialization and keep the same loop.
