Write File to disk

Expand Post »

Hi all,

I am trying to create a file and write something into that file.

Here's what I have tried:

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public static void main (String[] arg)
{
        try
        {
                String file_name = "test.txt";
                FileWriter file = new FileWriter(file_name);
                BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter (file);
                String text = "This is goint to be written to the file";
                out.write(text);
                out.close();
        }
        catch (IOException e)
        {
                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
}
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public static void main (String[] arg)
{
        try
        {
                String file_name = "test.txt";
                FileWriter file = new FileWriter(file_name);
                BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter (file);
                String text = "This is goint to be written to the file";
                out.write(text);
                out.close();
        }
        catch (IOException e)
        {
                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
}

But, when I run this program, no file is created. Can someone help me out with that. Where I went wrong.

Thanks.

Re: Write File to disk

I do not know how you can run this file when in the state as is it would not compile with about 10 error messages. What about class declaration public class CreateTestTxt for example

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class CreateTestTxt
{
	public static void main (String[] arg)
	{
	        try
	        {
	                String file_name = "test.txt";
	                FileWriter file = new FileWriter(file_name);
	                BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter (file);
	                String text = "This is goint to be written to the file";
	                out.write(text);
	                out.close();
	        }
	        catch (IOException e)
	        {
	                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
	        }
	}
}
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class CreateTestTxt
{
	public static void main (String[] arg)
	{
	        try
	        {
	                String file_name = "test.txt";
	                FileWriter file = new FileWriter(file_name);
	                BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter (file);
	                String text = "This is goint to be written to the file";
	                out.write(text);
	                out.close();
	        }
	        catch (IOException e)
	        {
	                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
	        }
	}
}

I know, I realized after that I missed in my post, the class decleration part. However, I had in my code the class declaration like you said

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

public class CreateTestTxt

.

But question, was that even with class declaration, like the one that you replied back, I wasn't able to make this simple code work.

I created another file, with different name. I compiled it, and ran it, it worked fine.
