Write to a file in Java - Sample Program

This sample Java program demonstrates how to write to a file in Java. For this, the following two classes FileWriter and BufferedWriter are used. This program can be used to write to any text file using a Java Program.

FileWriter

The FileWriter is a class used for writing character files. The constructors of this class assume that the default character encoding and the default byte-buffer size are acceptable. To specify these values yourself, construct an OutputStreamWriter on a FileOutputStream.

BufferedWriter

The BufferWriter class is used to write text to a character-output stream, buffering characters so as to provide for the efficient writing of single characters, arrays, and strings.

import java.io.*;
class FileWrite 
{
   public static void main(String args[])
  {
      try{
    // Create file 
    FileWriter fstream = new FileWriter("out.txt");
        BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fstream);
    out.write("Hello Java");
    //Close the output stream
    out.close();
    }catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
      System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
    }
  }
}
