[Advanced-java] Java Swing question.

[Leonard.Reinstein@xxxxxx (Reinstein, Lenny)]

getCaretPosition will still return incorrect value because of newlines.
getCaretPosition works in a text component only, not in a buffer. The
problem is to determine where at any point in time the caret is located in
the text.

You need to copy the text into a buffer, a String object or
a byte array, or something. The user only sees the textbox,
the magic is happening on the buffer. Simple.
