PrintStream Append to file Programming Software Development by Effrego I'm using PrintStream, to put some text in a txt. But how do I append to the end of the file? I saw some code whilst google-ing and it had other inputbufferstream stuff in it. Does PrintStream have its own append option?

Why different classes ? Re: Diff b/w DataOutputStream and PrintStream Programming Software Development by JamesCherrill DataOutputStream outputs data in its raw binary form - eg always 4 bytes for an int PrintStream outputs data in a human-readable character format - so an int could be anything such as "0" or "-1234567" Re: Diff b/w DataOutputStream and PrintStream Programming Software Development by daudiam Thanks. Does that mean that if we write the integer 2 using DataOutputStream, it'll write 0x0002, whereas if we use PrintStream, it'll convert it into the unicode code 0x32 and then use the UTF-8 or whatever is the default encoding of the platform to write that to the file ? Am i right ? Re: PrintStream Overwrite Problem Programming Software Development by kramerd When you use System.out, you are using println, which prints the string and then a new line. But when you use out to print to the file, you are only using out.print (line 131). Change this to out.println to get each line of text on a new line.

Re: StringBuffer and PrintStream Programming Software Development by Ezzaral Not really sure why you are getting that behavior. Your writeToLog() code wrote a StringBuffer with newline characters in it to multiple lines just fine here in a tiny test program. Are you viewing the file with an editor that's okay with just linefeeds or does it expect carriage return and linefeed pairs?

If you want to ask question, start your own thread. Thread Closed. Re: Regarding PrintStream class Programming Software Development by stultuske a solution would be to look into the classes used to write and search for append. an other, if you want to keep most of your code, is to (before you write) read the existing data, put that data and your new data in one big char array, and write that one, but I would suggest the first option Re: Regarding PrintStream class Programming Software Development by ~s.o.s~ Why would you want to dump a byte array in a log file? Anyways, use a FileWriter in append mode and if it is *really* required, write out the byte array as a string [by looping over individual bytes and converting them to their String representation; use a StringBuilder]. Re: Diff b/w DataOutputStream and PrintStream Programming Software Development by JamesCherrill Yes (except that ints in Java are 4 bytes, 0x00000002) Re: Diff b/w DataOutputStream and PrintStream Programming Software Development by daudiam Thanks.
