[FIXED] How to delete a row from a JTable based on a text field input

Issue

I'm using netbeans and i'm having trouble when deleting a row in a jTable. I want to delete a data using a textfield and a button. I've tried something like this but doesn't work:

private void btnDelActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
String text2 = (String)jTextField2.getText();
DefaultTableModel model = (DefaultTableModel)jTable2.getModel();
if (!text2.equals(model)){
do {
String [] row = {text2};
while(!text2.equals(model));
model.removeRow(WIDTH);
} 
}

I also tried to make it like this one, but still doesn't work:

 private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
   String text = (String)jTextField1.getText();
   DefaultTableModel model = (DefaultTableModel)jTable2.getModel();
   for (int i = 0; i < model.getRowCount(); i++)
     {
     for(int j = 0; j < model.getColumnCount(); j++) {
        model.setValueAt(text, i, j);
    }
  }    

Any ideas? Please make it easy for me to understand. I'm really a beginner on java and I don't know if I'm using the right code.

Solution

Say you have this data

First Name        Last Name

  Lebron           James
  Michael          Jordan
  Kobe             Bryant

What you want to do is loop through the model and depending on which column you want to check against, that will be the column you pass to getValueAt(row, column). So you could do something like this

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {                                         
    String name = jTextField1.getText();

    DefaultTableModel model = (DefaultTableModel)jTable1.getModel();
    for (int i = 0; i < model.getRowCount(); i++) {
        if (((String)model.getValueAt(i, 0)).equals(name)) {
            model.removeRow(i);
            break;
        }
    }
} 

I use 0 for the getValueAt(), checking for the First Name column. If a name equals, the row is deleted.

If I type in Lebron, the row of Lebron James will be deleted.
