How to get length of row from a rowsorted table?

Question

This is the code I have. It basically sorts the table based on what the user entered. The problem I have is i cannot retrieve the number of rows after the search. I have tried (rowSorter.getModel().getRowCount()); but it doesnt seem to work.

TableRowSorter<TableModel> rowSorter = new TableRowSorter(jTable.getModel());
    jTable.setRowSorter(rowSorter);
    String text = SearchTF.getText();

    if (text.trim().length() == 0) {
        rowSorter.setRowFilter(null);
    } else {
        rowSorter.setRowFilter(RowFilter.regexFilter("(?i)" + text));
    }

Answer 1

The TableRowSorter will not affect the model, it generates a "proxy" of the model which the table can use to display the results.

Instead, ask the JTable for the row count - See JTable#getRowCount
