Exporting to a text file in an applet..
Hey all,
I've been working on an applet for simulating different nodal configurations on a 2D map. What I need to be able to do is export, on the click of a button, all of the nodal coordinates (x,y) to a text file. However, using the standard FileWrite hasn't been working for me. The code compiles and the applet runs fine, but I haven't been able to create the text file on the click of a button. Any ideas?
Here's what I've got so far. Basically, on the button push, it's supposed goes through an array of ellipses (what I use for nodes) and gets the x and y coords for each and output them to a text file. The applet doesn't freeze or anything when I push the button either, it just does nothing.
void stop_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
try
{
String fileName ="NodeCoords.txt";
FileWriter fileWriter =new FileWriter( fileName );
BufferedWriter bufferedWriter =new BufferedWriter( fileWriter );
String tmpCoordinates;
int ID;
//for looop through x-y coordinates
for (int i = 0; i < node.length; i++){
ID = i+1;
tmpCoordinates ="Node: " + String.valueOf(nodeID[ID]) +" X: " + String.valueOf(node[i].getX()) +" Y: " + String.valueOf(node[i].getY()) +"\n";
bufferedWriter.write(tmpCoordinates);
}
bufferedWriter.close();
}
catch( IOException p )
{
p.printStackTrace();
}
}
