To use
PrintWriter
in Java, first create it with new
, then call println
, finally call close
when you are done.For example, this is will print Hello World!
to the document.txt
file in the /Users/whaadev
directory:
try {
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter("/Users/whaadev/document.txt");
writer.println("Hello World!");
writer.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Don't forget that PrintWriter
will not create folders for you. All folders along the path have to exist, otherwise it will throw FileNotFoundException
.
