Storing data?

**Syntax** · 01-23-2010, 01:07 AM

Basically I've been thinking about possible program ideas for fun at home but I want to be able to store the data. I don't want it to restart every time I open it up. How do I actually store the data?

Thanks :)

Store what data? text? Database type data? Recipes? Details are somewhat important here.

Much luck

Actually it isn't really important. It should be able to store anything. Whether it's recipes or instructions on how to cure cancer. +1 Post count much?

The java tutorials have great examples on writing to files, and reading from files.
Typically using FileOutputStream, FileInputStream and the like.

Really big index

as a really small example

Java Code:

try
{
    String inStr;
    Scanner inFile = new Scanner(new FileInputStream("Your_File.txt"));
    while (inFile.hasNextLine())
    {
         inStr = inFile.nextLine();
         System.out.println(inStr);
    }
    inFile.close();
} catch ( FileNotFoundException fnfe)
{
    System.out.println(fnfe);
}
