Maybe he means creating a string by using a repeating substring, such as the repeat function in turing.

I don't know any predefined method to do that in java, but you could use a for loop and/or define your own method. Using StringBuffer and then converting to String at the end might be more efficient.

yup, richcash is right.
using string buffer and then converting it to string at the end IS INDEED more efficient!
But elaborate on 'text repetition' please,ahmhum, so then we can see your code or whatever it is and help you out :D

Re: text repetition

In that case I have a PERFECT example in turing.
but the main idea is that you have a string for random digits (say '1031234874...' for example),
then you just keep outputting that string in a cool color in a cool background!!!!!

Re: text repetition

-----------------------------------

when you add the second line of numbers, just add a line of space before it! doesn't that work?
for example:

add -> "1031234234432..."
add -> "                         "
           "1031234234432..."
add -> "                         "
           "                         "
           "1031234234432..."
etc...

so the output should look like:

1031234234432...
1031234234432...
1031234234432...
etc...

RE:text repetition

the problem can be solved by moving the string text
but i don't know how to do that
so can anyone tell me how to move an object
