HashTable ht = new HashTable();

//Fill with stuff

try {

FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("data.txt");

ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(out);

os.writeObject(data);//Write the HashTable to data.txt

os.flush();//Necessary

os.close();//close the file

}

catch( Exception ex ){}

//*************************************

To get it back from the file

try {

FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("data.txt");

ObjectInputStream is = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
