How to write bytes to text file?

[fatabass]

File myFile = new File("c://try.txt");
		
			FileOutputStream myStream = new FileOutputStream(myFile);
			String mike = "mike";
			byte[] myByteArray = mike.getBytes();
			
			myStream.write(myByteArray, 0, myByteArray.length);
			
			for(int i = 0; i<myByteArray.length;i ++)
			{
				System.out.println(myByteArray[i]);
			}
			myStream.close();

When I run this code
I get the text "Mike" in my try.txt file
and I get

109
105
107
101

on the console line.

I want to write the bytes ( the 109, 105.. ) to the text file.

How do I do that?

Thanks.

You don't write bytes to a text file, makes no sense. You write text to a text file. Otherwise perhaps you want write to a binary file.

Thanks.

so write() method of OutputStream gets bytes, converts them to appropriate text.

read() method of InputStream reads texts, stores them as bytes.

Correct ?

What does the API doc say for those methods?

Everything in the computer is stored in bytes. It how those bytes are used that determines if they are part of an int or part of a String.

Sorry ?

Every thing is stored in the computer and on disk files as bytes. You can use the same byte value in an int and in a String.
If you look at any byte from the computer you can not tell if the byte is from an int or from a String. The meaning of the contents of a byte depends on what the code is using it for.

So a byte like 150 can be a character 'x' or an integer 4 ? ( For example ) Right ?

Your examples are not correct.
Try something like this to see what the int value of a char is:
System.out.println((int)'x');

or the char for an int:
System.out.println((char) 119);

Thnaks.

Write this code in beginning of main() function...'

File nfile=new File("D:/output.txt");
PrintStream out=new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(nfile));
System.setOut(out);

'
Your output will be stored in text file.
