Scanner class

[ajaymenon.k]

I am very new to java 5 .As a learning thing, i was writing some sample code on
using scanner utilities to scan a file and see the output.

After scanning, i tried writing the output to a file like this :

File file = new File("E:///xanadu.txt");
try {
scanner = new Scanner(file);
pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("E:///scanneroutput.txt"));
while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
String l = scanner.nextLine();
//System.out.println(l);
pw.print(l);
}

} catch (Exception e) {

} finally {

System.out.println("Out File Generated.");
if (scanner != null) {
scanner.close();
}
}

But the output is not getting written to the file.But when i use S.O.P it is getting printed on the screen. I couldnt understand why this is happening ? Can anybody please help me out ?

I tried to run the same on my system and it did produce the output file. The code I used is :

Code:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class ScannerTest {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
	File file = new File("C:///YServer.txt");
	Scanner scanner = null;
	PrintWriter pw = null;
	
	try {
		scanner = new Scanner(file);
		pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("C:///scanneroutput.txt"));
		while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
			String l = scanner.nextLine();
		//	System.out.println(l);
			pw.print(l);
		}

	} catch (Exception e) {

	} finally {

		System.out.println("Out File Generated.");
		if (scanner != null) {
		scanner.close();
		}
	}
 }//end of main method
}
