well it sure doesnt work cause there are multiple "" and (). Hope you understand.I dont need to execute any query just insert code in textfield

Answer 1

Double quote characters " are used to indicate the beginning and ending of a string. They need to be escaped within a String to indicate that they are a special character. To set the text for the JTextField, you can use

sqlcodefield.setText("(\"Select IP from Test where (Ipdate > 01.01.2010)\");");
