How To Store Variables In A Text File That Aren't Constant

[anthropamorphic]

Hello, I am trying to write a program that will generate a random password then allow you to save it out to an encrypted database. While I was trying to create this though I ran into a problem. I needed to get input from a textfield and store it into a file. When I tried to do this though it would get errors, but I wouldn't get errors if I stored a variable like {String a = "hi";}

My Code:

File somefile = new File("Passwords.txt");
					BufferedWriter output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(somefile));
					output.write(te.getText());
					output.close();

All help is appreciated and just if anyone is wondering I did search google for an answer, but found no answer.

Once again we don't read minds. If you get any errors then post the exact and full error message.

You don't need to see the errors anyway they weren't helpful they just lead me to a new window. I'm getting off for tonight, but I can post them in the morning.

Of course we need to see the errors. How the heck are we supposed to diagnose your problem if we cannot see the errors?

What variable at line 47 is null?
When you find it, back track in your code to see why it does NOT have a valid value.
