FileWriter doesn't write

[superman5]

Hi

I have this weird problem.

I'm using NetBeans and the code below does not work. Nothing gets written to my output file.

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileWriter;

public class NewClass {

    public static void main ( String args[]){

        try {
            File file = new File("myFile.txt");
            FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter( file );

            fileWriter.write( " test " );
        }
        catch ( Exception e ){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

This is part of a large application I'm writing in NetBeans and really need this to work.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Actually I just checked and NetBeans is not the problem.
That code doesn't work anywhere.

Can someone tell me what the proper way to write to a text file is?

Once you write something to FileWriter stream, until you flush them file is not updated.

fileWriter.write( " test " );
            fileWriter.flush();

Read the JavaDoc for more details on flush().
