writing text to file

[notwist]

I have a quick question about writing text to a file. Why can't I just append the variable long to the file? Is there some restriction on what I can or cannot append to a file? If i just do w.write(estimateTime); the code will not compile.

Code:

//append execution time to file
				BufferedWriter w = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("DESdata2.txt", true));
				w.write(estimateTime+"\n");  //estimateTime is a variable of type long
				w.close();

Have you read this?

look for write() method and see what should be the right parameter to use.....

Code:

import java.io.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        //estimateTime is a variable of type long
        long estimateTime = 250L;
        //append execution time to file
        BufferedWriter w = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("abc.txt", true));
        w.write((int)'a');
        w.newLine();
        String s = String.valueOf(estimateTime);
        w.write(s, 0, s.length());
        w.newLine();
        s = Long.toString(estimateTime);
        w.write(s, 0, s.length());
        w.close();
    }
}
