PrintWriter doesnt work :(

[Addez]

Idk whats wrong, but it doesnt give an exception
nor does it, when i check the file later on, write anything to the file!

Idk why it doesnt work, heres my code:

public static void saveMap(String mapName,Node rootNode){
		PrintWriter pw;
		try {
			pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(MainClass.dir+mapName));
			List<Spatial> list = rootNode.getChildren();
			for (int x = 0;x<list.size();x++){
				Spatial obj = list.get(x);
				System.out.println(obj.getName());
				if (!obj.getName().equals("skybox")){
					float X = obj.getWorldTranslation().x;
					float Y = obj.getWorldTranslation().y;
					float Z = obj.getWorldTranslation().z;
					float sX = obj.getWorldScale().x;
					float sY = obj.getWorldScale().y;
					float sZ = obj.getWorldScale().z;
					String line = sX+","+sY+","+sZ+","+X+","+Y+","+Z+",1";
					pw.println(line);
					System.out.println(line);
				}
				
			}
			//pw.flush();
			//pw.close();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

	}

It didnt work while using pw.flush and close so therefore they are in commented..

Is there anything in your list? Check that. btw, you do have to close that PrintWriter, there is no need to explicitly flush it, close() will take care of that.

Please create and post a small compilable program that demonstrates your problem and that allows us to see it first hand, an SSCCE.

Also, out of respect to those here for which English is not a first language, and out of respect to us old fuddy-duddy's who bristle at it, please avoid using non-standard abbreviations such as "IDK". Thanks for your cooperation and much luck!

old fuddy-duddy's

idk what you mean by that; now confess, you rapscallion; what are they? Confess!

kindest regards,

Jos (aka The Spanish Inquisition ;-)

Okej, I tried to only use close, but it didnt work either..

So I made this small compilable class for you to test:

public class test{
public static String dir = "C://Your file path";
public static void main(String args[]){
saveMap();
}
public static void saveMap(){
		PrintWriter pw;
		try {
			pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(dir));
int[] list = {1,3,2,3};
			for (int x = 0;x<list.length;x++){

					String line = String.valueOf(list[x]);
					pw.println(line);
					System.out.println(line);
				}
				
			}
			//pw.flush();
			pw.close();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

	}
}

Hope this one works :)

[Fubarable]

Did you test this class to see if it compiles before you ran it through your creative indentation utility and posted it here?

[Fubarable]

Corrected, this works fine for me:

import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

public class test {
  // TODO: change this to appropriate directory!!!
  public static String dir = "C:/Users/Pete/Documents/Fubar/f1/foo001.txt";

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    saveMap();
  }

  public static void saveMap() {
    PrintWriter pw = null;
    try {
      pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(dir));
      int[] list = {1, 3, 2, 3};
      for (int x = 0; x < list.length; x++) {

        String line = String.valueOf(list[x]);
        pw.println(line);
        System.out.println(line);
      }

    } catch (IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
      if (pw != null) {
        //pw.flush();
        pw.close();
      }
    }
  }

}

Oh sry about that, Thanks for correcting it :)
Really fast replys on this forum I must say!
Thanks so much for all help but I realised that the filepath was incorrect, and odd enough that didnt cause any exception -.-

But thanks alot for all support :D

No, it won't cause an exception -- you're not trying to read from a non-existing file but rather to create a non-existing file. So look at your hard drive and you may see a couple of new folders and a file that corresponds to the original file path.

A FileWriter doesn't create new folders if at least one of them doesn't exist in the given path.

You are of course right and I'm wrong. Sorry about the misinformation.

No problem; I'll tell the Spanish Inquisition about it so they can pay you a visit shortly ;-)
