Hi i'm creating a program that opens a file and then sends the output to the GUI. If the user wishes they can then save a copy of the output to another file.

My program seems to open files without any bother however when i try and save the output of some larger files to a text file i get this error below:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

I tried a file of size 1.3mb which opened and then saved fine, however when i tried a file of 10mb the file opened but i could not save the output as i kept getting the above error.

I had a look in the java controller in the java control panel and the disk space allowed is at 1GB which is its maximum.

I'm just curious is there anything else i can do in order for this to work?

Thanks

john
