Alternative to setText() method within RichTextFX

[charandeep18]

Hi All,

I'm just changing an existing GUI that I have with some of the components available within RichTextFX and have run into a small problem.

Currently, I have a load function that loads text from a text file into an existing text area. I was wondering if there is an alternative to the setText() method available for RichTextFX?

` public void OpenFile(ActionEvent event) {
// Setting the filter to show only text files
FileChooser.ExtensionFilter filter = new FileChooser.ExtensionFilter("TXT Files (.txt)",".txt");

    	FileChooser filechooser = new FileChooser();
    	filechooser.getExtensionFilters().add(filter);
    	filechooser.setTitle("Open File");
   	
    	File file = filechooser.showOpenDialog(MainStage.getScene().getWindow());
    	if(file != null){
    	_readTextArea.SetText(openFile.readFile(file));_ - Causes an undefined error
    	}
    }`

Were you looking for replaceText(String text)? Or one of the other replace-methods?

Thanks Jordan, that's done the trick!
