writing to a file

I am randomly accessing a file and want to append text at the end of the file. I am trying following code.

Code:

---

        File file = new File("C:\\myFile.txt");
        RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(file, "rw");
       
        raf.seek(file.length());
        raf.write("MyMessage");

---

I get exception at following like:

Code:

---

raf.write("MyMessage");

---

saying:

Code:

---

The method write(int) in the type RandomAccessFile is not applicable for the arguments (String)

---

Any clues??

Look in the Methods Summary section of the RandomAccessFile class api.
There are three write methods none of which take a String argument. Methods that take a String argument are writeBytes(String s) and writeUTF(String str).
