Reading and writing to the same file
K so I have a String file which is the path to a file on the computer, its already been checked and everything and it exists, and exceptions are handled and all that junk
all I want to do is read one line at a time from that file, change it, then put it back in at the same spot.
how do i do that? the following isnt working
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
PrintStream out = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
while(true){
String line = reader.readline();
line.modify();
out.println(line);
}
thats just an example, I do havea stop condition for the loop and everything.
all it does it empty the file
I don't want to make a new file then change the names around either, this has to be done all in the same .txt file
