how to write to file without overwritten the existing content?

Hi,

I want to write a program which has a log file to record every action. I do have the data written to the target file. But every time I run it again the previous log is overwritten!

I tried methods of print, write in classes such as FIleOutputStream, BufferedWriter, PrintStream. And in the sun document I didn't find information about it.

Could anybody help me?

Thanks!

Look a little harder:

[url=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/FileOutputStream.html#FileOutputStream(java.io.File,%20boolean)]FileOutputStream[/url]

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/FileOutputStream.htmlSee the constructor FileOutputStream(File, boolean). Set the boolean to true to append text to the stream instead of rewriting it.
