How do I save a String to a text file using Java?

Question

In Java, I have text from a text field in a String variable called \"text\".

How can I save the contents of the \"text\" variable to a file?

Answer 1

Basically the same answer as here, but easy to copy/paste, and it just works ;-)

  import java.io.FileWriter;

  public void saveToFile(String data, String filename) {
    try (
      FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(filename)) {
      fw.write(data);
    } catch (Exception e) {
      throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
  }
