I want my graphical user interface to accept an integer

Hello I'm having trouble with my work. I want a graphical user interface to accpet a single statement in the form "insert name number".

For example of such a command is "insert Whiz 105"

I've programed Java to use "insert" word in the user input and also string. However I don't know how to make Java detect both string and integer in one statement.

How do I create a statement that allows me to separate String and Integers, when user enters both them in the GUI?. For example instead of creating a two inputs for String and Integers, I use one input instead to refer to both of them.

Here is my code, please base your answers to it.

Use the String method split to split the String.

String input = /* pull from the text box */.
String[] tokens = input.split("\\s");
if (tokens.length == 3)
{
     String command = tokens[0];
     String intValue= tokens[2];
}

I'd ask you to explain your requirement better. But a quick idea if you're sure you'll only get a bunch of strings and one integer, would be to separate the string by using a tokenizer or, preferably, the split method.

Then you iterate through each individual word and try with the "Integer.parseInt()" method. If a NumberFormatException raises, it's a string and you should append it to your string object. Otherwise, it's an integer and you can threat it as so.

You can try something like:

String cmd = sc.next();

try {

    int number = Integer.parseInt(cmd);

} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
     if (cmd.equals("insert"))
            {
                if (sc.hasNextInt())
                {
                    // add index element
                    int index = sc.nextInt();
                    String element = sc.next();
                    names.add(index, element);                
                }
                else
                {  
                    // add element
                    String element = sc.next();
                    names.add(element);                
                }
                listView.setText(names.toString());
                pack();
                return;
            }
            if (cmd.equals("remove"))
            {
                if (sc.hasNextInt())
                {
                    // remove index
                    int index = sc.nextInt();
                    Object obj = names.remove(index);
                    String res = obj.toString();
                    resultTextField.setText(res);              
                }
                else
                {
                    // remove element
                    String element = sc.next();
                    boolean res = names.remove(element);
                          String resText = String.valueOf(res);
                    resultTextField.setText(resText);
                }
                listView.setText(names.toString());
                pack();
                return;
            }
            if (cmd.equals("isempty"))
            {
                    String resText = String.valueOf(names.isEmpty());
                resultTextField.setText(resText);
                return;
            }
            if (cmd.equals("size"))
            {
                   String resText = String.valueOf(names.size());
               resultTextField.setText(resText);
               return;
            }
}

This will attempt to parse the input to an integer. If it is a number then it will succeed otherwise it will fail and enter your catch block and be processed as a string.
