Save java file 2

[borntorun]

HI,

I would like to pass a string to a java program and then save this to the file system, in a specific location.

It should overwrite any file that is existing but wait if the file is being read.

Can i use the file class?

Thanks.

Something like:

     try {PrintWriter outF = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter ([red]<file name>[/red],[b]false[/b]));
                   outF.println([red]<whatever>[/red]);
                   outF.close();
      }
      catch (IOException eio) {System.out.println(eio);}

The false specifier says not to append.

Note that Bong's example is for ASCII data only.

Look at the java.io package - there are lots of streams to choose from - the base one being FileOutputStream for file based operations.
