Help needed to read and write files!

Nov 14th, 2008

How to make streams to read and write files (in binary) .
I have found a few Streams but do not know which one to use.
they are as follows:-

 Help with Code Tags 
 Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
PrintStream p=new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("myfile.text"));
DataInputStream in=new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("myfile.txt"));
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new FileReader("myfile.text"));
Printwriter pw=new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("myfile.text"));
PrintStream p=new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("myfile.text"));
DataInputStream in=new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("myfile.txt"));
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new FileReader("myfile.text"));
Printwriter pw=new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("myfile.text"));

Please tell me which ones to use to reading and writing files.
Help will be highly appreciated.

Simple FileInputStream and FileOutputStream.

If you want to read in "binary" then there is no need to wrap those streams in anything else.
