Problem with storing and retrieving from a textfile

[Albert]

I used these lines of code for getting data from text field and storing into a textfile.
But this overwrites into same place, all i want to do is storing more than one data in a same file.

Also I could not retrieve data from a text file using BufferedReader method.

Code:

//try
{
BufferedWriter fileOut = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("filename.txt"));  //Create the Buffered Writer object to write to a file called filename.txt
fileOut.write(myTextField.getText());
 // Write to the file, using the text from our textfield
fileOut.close(); // Close the output stream after all output is done.
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
ioe.printStackTrace();
//}

Greetings.

You'll probably want to use .append(char c) rather than .write()

Writer (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0)
BufferedWriter (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0)

Another way (besides what Gox has written) is when you create the new FileWriter is to add a boolean of true for appending.

Code:

import java.io.*;
public class test
{
  public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException
  {
    BufferedWriter stdout = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("file.txt", true));
  }
}

That will always append to the end when you do stdout.write("something");
