BufferedWriter method: write

[toya]

hello all(:

i'm trying to write something using file.write(String, int off, int len);
but when i enter the amount of characters in my string there is an error of exceeding count limit or something like that.
i was just wondering what the limit (highest number) is to use in int len to fix my code accordingly?
thanks!

Posting your code as an SSCCE and all errors in their entirety does wonders to help yourself get help

sorry, i'm new to this.
okay so my code is:

finalFile.write(newRead,0,40);

where finalFile is the file i'm trying to write to and i want it to write string newRead which is about 40 characters long but when i run it the error says :

Error: String index out of range: 40

See Short, Self Contained, Correct Example
Given what you posted I can guess (note: guesses can often be wrong) - your String is less than 40 characters long. Try passing in the len parameter of the method the actual length of the String you are writing.

thanks! let's see if this works now.
let's try again:

qqqint readLength = newRead.length(); //gets length of text
qqqqqtry{
qqqqqqqqFileWriter file = new FileWriter("out.txt");
qqqqqqqqBufferedWriter finalFile = new BufferedWriter(file);
qqqqqqqqfinalFile.write(newRead,0,readLength);

when i use this code it'll write part of the text (the last line of the three i have) even though i told it to write the length of the whole string...

You've been asked twice to post a SSCCE, the second time with a link. If you can't be bothered to do that to help us help you, why should members here be bothered reading through uncompilable code snippets?

Also, as a new member you should have gone through the Forum Rules where you would have found a link to the Guide For New Members, and would have known how to post code here.

Have you closed the BufferedWriter?
