FileWriter related question
Hey,
in my program, user inputs data, which is written to a file. I want to ask my user for the filename and save it as such. I can do this alright, but my problem is how to save the data as .txt file. Currently my code saves without format.
I would also like to add feature in which user can later on edit particular files.Therefore I need to print contents of a folder to screen. Where should I start looking for this?
This is my current method code, it's not a revolutionary one so make sure you understand it (in case you would borrow it) ;)
publicstaticvoid save()throws IOException{
String name;
BufferedReader stdin =new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
BufferedWriter out;
System.out.println("give me your filename");
name= stdin.readLine();
out =new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(name,true));
out.write("datadatadata");
out.close();
}
br,
nomi

if you want to save it as a txt file, concatentate .txt to the string the user gives when you create the file writer
public static void save() throws IOException {
String name;
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
BufferedWriter out;
System.out.println("give me your filename");
name= stdin.readLine();
//Add this line, or do this in the FileWriter c'tor out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(name+ ".txt", true));
name = name + ".txt";
out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(name, true));
out.write("datadatadata");
out.close();
}

If you are doing this with a GUI, look at javax.swing.JFileChooser
