CHAPTER --- Writing Text Files

This chapter explains how to create a text file on the hard disk and how to write character data to it.

Chapter Topics:

• Class FileWriter.
• Creating a disk file.
• Closing a disk file.
• The write() method.
• Catching IO exceptions.
• Class BufferedWriter.

A previous chapter in these notes used command line redirection to write text files. In this chapter, the Java program will have control of file creation and the output to it.
