random access file

[GiJOE]

The following java fragment of code is meant to append text to a file using the RandomAccessFile class



RandomAccessFile inputfile = new RandomAccessFile("myfilein","r");
RandomAccessFile outputfile = new RandomAccessFile("myfileout","rw");
outputfile.seek(outputfile.length());
String line
//what do the following lines do?
while ((line=inputfile.readLine() !=null)
{
outputfile.writeBytes(Line);
outputfile.writeByte('\n');
}
inputfile.close();
outputfile.close();




Thanks in advance

line=inputfile.readLine() reads the inputfile until it encounters a "\n" character and transfers the line (without "\n") into line. line is then written to the outputfile, followed by a new line "\n" character.
