Writing into a text file

[africanhacker]

Please help, I am trying to write the contents of an arraylist to a text file but for some reason nothing happens. When I open the text file it is completely empty. Can someone please help me find out why this is. Many thanks in advance.

public void writeToFile(){
		for (String s : linksArray){
			try{
			fileOut = new FileOutputStream ("newsDayLinks.txt");
			new PrintStream(fileOut).println (s);
			

			}catch(IOException e){
				System.err.println ("Unable to write to file");
				System.exit(-1);
			}			
		}//for-each ends
		try {
			fileOut.close();
		} catch (IOException e) {			
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}//writeToFile method ends

Try initializing the writers before the loop, then in the loop just directly call println(s).

Also, Are you using this method correctly?

Sorry about that, it is actually working. There was a problem with my directory structure
