how to save file..

[jont717]

Hi, I am new to Java and to this forum.

Just wondering what code I would need to insert into this source code to save the file to disk. Here is the code.

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class URLTimer {

static Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in); // connect Scanner s to the keyboard

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

String site; // will hold URL
System.out.print("\n\nEnter URL of site to test: "); // don't enter a bad one!
site = "http" + s.next();

URL url = new URL(site);

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
url.openStream()));

long connectTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); // return from TCP handshake

String inputLine;
int charCount = 0;

while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
charCount += inputLine.length();
System.out.println(inputLine);
}

long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); // all data displayed

in.close();

System.out.println("\n\nResponse Time Measurements for " + site);
System.out.println("Connection time: " + (connectTime - startTime) + " msec.");
System.out.println("Page Transfer/Display time: " + (endTime - connectTime) + " msec.");
System.out.println(" (" + charCount + " characters @ " +
(int)((double)(charCount / (endTime - connectTime))) + " chars/msec.)"); // ugly?
System.out.println("Total time: " + (endTime - startTime) + " msec.");

}
}

check out FileWriter and see where that leads you.

Here's a method I found that makes a .txt file. If the fileDest(File Destination) already exists, it overwrites:

public void createScrambledFile(String fileDest) throws IOException{
     FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(fileDest);
     BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
     bw.write("The String to put in your new .txt file\nblahblah\nHello" +
                  " World JAVA from the File!");
     bw.close();
}
