Trouble with File erasure.

File file =new File(filename);

file.createNewFile();

in =new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));

out =new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));

When I call this code, the existing contents of the file in question are completely erased. Can I avoid this in some sensible way? Thanks.
