how to form a text file

[tOpach]

Hi everybody,

I try to write a program with java. I figured out something.Now what I want to know is how can I form a file. I mean there is a file.Program reads file at once.Then takes a part of text file,creates a new file,writes the part into that file.But I want to change form of that part.
For example:

İnput(in a string):Yesterday.
Today.
Tommorrow.
I wish such an output:Yesterday.Today.Tommorrow

tOpach,

Kind regards.

data.add(Line);
}
}

catch(IOException e){
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}


writeDataBack();
}

public void writeDataBack(){
FileWriter fw = null;
int x = 0;
try
{
fw = new FileWriter("file2.txt");
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fw);

while(x<data.size()){
out.write(data.get(x));
out.newLine();
x++;
}
out.close();
}
catch(IOException ex){
System.out.println(ex.getLocalizedMessage());
}

hi...
the last example that i have given to u, it will work like this.

1).. whatever file u want to read it would read the file using bufferedReader.

2)..then it write back the content of the file to another file by using BufferedWriter thats it. And make sure that u dont need to create new text file in which u want to write it. it will automatically create the file and write the content.

its looking difficult but it easy to understand.Anyway i know u r new to java right?......u no need to worry about it, we all are ready to help u

if this is not that what u want.....then skip the above example.

Dear nishant,

I can see that you really try to help me,so thank you very much:o.In fact I dont want to copy a file to another file(I already do it) .I would like to change the form of it(to a straight line) than write to another file.Thats the part I can not write.


tOpach,

Kind regards.

By a "straight line" I assume you mean that you want to remove the newline characters that are in the original file and write the new file without them.
Look at your program and see if there are any method calls that will write out a newline character. If so, remove it.
