how do i write data to text file

How can i write the string value to a text file ?
I try to use FileWriter but it return me error.

Please help.

Hi,

What does the error say?

You can write a string value to a text file like this:
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter("test.txt");
writer.write("this is a test file");
writer.close();




If you try this, what error do you get?

Error program below.. pls help ..

import java.io.*;

public class FileWriterTest
{
FileWriter famex = new FileWriter("amex.txt");
famex.write("Success write into text file");
famex.close();
}

********** Error code ************
FileWriterTest.java6: Type Expected
famex.write("Success write into text file");
^
********** End Error code ************

> public class FileWriterTest
> {
> FileWriter famex = new FileWriter("amex.txt");
> famex.write("Success write into text file");
> famex.close();
> }

Where is the function ???? Shouldnt those 3 lines be inside a function ????

this the full code .. what is wrong ?

***************
import java.io.FileWriter;

class FileWriterTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
FileWriter fwriter = new FileWriter("Amex.txt");
fwriter.write("testing");
fwriter.close();;
}
}

Hi
Try this. It works. You had not catched the exception..

import java.io.FileWriter;

class FileWriterTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
FileWriter fwriter = new FileWriter("Amex.txt");
fwriter.write("testing");
fwriter.close();;
}
catch(Exception e){}
}
}
