You should *check* first..

if ( !fd.getFile().toLowerCase().endsWith(".txt") ) {
fd.setFile(fd.getFile() + ".txt");
}

Why do I need to check? I'm writing out to a file, and not the other way
around. So of course, it will end with .txt cos thats what i want.

Your file dialog returns a string representing
the file the user selected. If the user selects
'C:\MYFILE.TXT' the above will save it as 'C:\MYFILE.TXT',
whereas no check results in 'C:\MYFILE.TXT.txt'.

good point.

I just assumed that the user would create a new file to save by typing the
file name in the dialog box.

Thanks.
