Java File - Open A File And Write To It [closed]

Answer 1

Suggestions:

• Create a File object that refers to the already existing file on disk.
• Use a FileWriter object, and use the constructor that takes the File object and a boolean, the latter if true would allow appending text into the File if it exists.
• Then initialize a PrintWriter passing in the FileWriter into its constructor.
• Then call println(...) on your PrintWriter, writing your new text into the file.
• As always, close your resources (the PrintWriter) when you are done with it.
• As always, don't ignore exceptions but rather catch and handle them.
• The close() of the PrintWriter should be in the try's finally block.

e.g.,

  PrintWriter pw = null;

  try {
     File file = new File("fubars.txt");
     FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file, true);
     pw = new PrintWriter(fw);
     pw.println("Fubars rule!");
  } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
  } finally {
     if (pw != null) {
        pw.close();
     }
  }

Easy, no?

Please Search Google given to the world by Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

BufferedWriter out = null;

try {
    FileWriter fstream = new FileWriter("out.txt", true); //true tells to append data.
    out = new BufferedWriter(fstream);
    out.write("\nsue");
}

catch (IOException e) {
    System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}

finally {
    if(out != null) {
        out.close();
    }
}

To expand upon Mr. Eels comment, you can do it like this:

    File file = new File("C:\\A.txt");
    FileWriter writer;
    try {
        writer = new FileWriter(file, true);
        PrintWriter printer = new PrintWriter(writer);
        printer.append("Sue");
        printer.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Don't say we ain't good to ya!
