bookCreating and Writing to a File

When you need to store information permanently in Java, you often write data to a file. Writing text data to files is a fundamental skill that allows you to save logs, user input, or any generated content. Java provides several classes for file output, but two of the most commonly used for writing text are FileWriter and BufferedWriter.

The FileWriter class is designed to write character files. It is useful for writing simple text data. However, writing to files can be slow if you write one character at a time. To improve performance, you can wrap a FileWriter with a BufferedWriter, which collects output in a buffer and writes larger chunks at once. This makes your file operations more efficient, especially when writing many lines of text.

import java.io.FileWriter; import java.io.BufferedWriter; import java.io.IOException; public class WriteToFileExample { public static void main(String[] args) { String filename = "output.txt"; try { // Create a FileWriter wrapped with a BufferedWriter BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(filename)); // Write lines of text to the file writer.write("Hello, this is the first line."); writer.newLine(); // Write a newline character writer.write("This is the second line."); writer.newLine(); writer.write("Writing to files is easy with Java!"); // Always close the writer to save changes and free resources writer.close(); System.out.println("File written successfully."); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println("An error occurred while writing to the file."); e.printStackTrace(); } } }
copy

When writing to files, always remember to close your resources, such as BufferedWriter or FileWriter, after you finish writing. Closing these resources ensures that all data is properly saved and system resources are released. Using a buffer with BufferedWriter is recommended for better performance when writing multiple lines or large amounts of text.
