If you’re simply outputting text, rather than any binary data, the following will work:
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter("filename.txt");
Then, write your String to it, just like you would to any output stream:
You’ll need exception handling, as ever. Be sure to call out.close()
when you’ve finished writing.
If you are using Java 7 or later, you can use the “try-with-resources statement” which will automatically close your PrintStream
when you are done with it (ie exit the block) like so:
try (PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter("filename.txt")) {
out.println(text);
}
You will still need to explicitly throw the java.io.FileNotFoundException
as before.
