    Default Problem in my coding

    Hi guys

    Iam developing software like offline web browser,but I am at initial stages.
    my idea is geting content of web page and save it to text file.I wrote down my coding below ,but it's gave me error

    Error is "can not resolve method 'write(java.lang.StringBuffer)' "

    pls help

    Thank you

    import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.nio.channels.FileChannel;
    import java.lang.String;
    import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

    public class Test {


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

    File aFile = new File("D:\\Java\\First.text");
    setcontents(aFile,getcontent());
    }

    static public StringBuffer getcontent()
    {
    StringBuffer contents = new StringBuffer();
    String text[];
    try{
    URL yahoo = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com");
    URLConnection yc = yahoo.openConnection();
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
    new InputStreamReader(
    yc.getInputStream()));

    String line;
    while (( line = in.readLine()) != null)
    {
    contents.append(line);
    contents.append(System.getProperty("line.separator "));

    }
    }
    catch(IOException e){
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return contents;
    }


    static public void setcontents(File afile,StringBuffer acontents)
    {
    Writer output=null;
    try{
    output=new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(afile));
    output.write(acontents);
    }
    catch(IOException e){
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    }


    }

    Hi one198,

    The error is clear. write method of BufferedWriter class does not accept a StringBuffer object. Instead try converting your StringBuffer object into a String object and sending it as below:

    Java Code: 
    output.write(acontents.toString());

    It looks normal. Do you get any exception, what is the content you are getting? Try writing acontents.toString() to the screen first. In these ways, you can localize the error and then fix it.

    Try to trace it using some thing like:
    System.out.print(acontents.toString()) - so you get direct idea what is getting entered in your method

    Hey You just forgot to close the writer .
    Here is the modified code
    Java Code: 
    package javaapplication1;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.nio.channels.FileChannel;
import java.lang.String;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

public class Test {
    
    
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        
        File aFile = new File("C:\\Java\\First1.text");
        setcontents(aFile,getcontent());
    }
    
    static public StringBuffer getcontent() {
        StringBuffer contents = new StringBuffer();
        String text[];
        try{
            URL yahoo = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com");
            URLConnection yc = yahoo.openConnection();
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(
                    yc.getInputStream()));
            
            String line;
            while (( line = in.readLine()) != null) {
                contents.append(line);
                contents.append(System.getProperty("line.separator "));
                
            }
        } catch(IOException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return contents;
    }
    
    
    static public void setcontents(File afile,StringBuffer acontents) {
        Writer output=null;
        try{
            System.out.println(acontents.toString());
            output=new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(afile));
            output.write(acontents.toString());
            output.close();// This line I added
        } catch(IOException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    
    
}
    I made some modifications to make it working in my machine dont look at that , Only one line I think is important. i.e "output.close()"
