[mrhozer]

You know you're a geek when this gets you excited!

Please continue making tutorials, they are great! Just wish you would talk instead of typing instructions :)

File writing is not advanced Java..

[MrSuavito]

no sound???

[No1CGIguy]

Thanks, it works. I noticed there are multiple ways to do this. Which one is the best. Example:

PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter("test.txt");

out.println("Bla bla bla");

out.close();

FileReader reader = new FileReader("test.txt");

// if file doesn't exist it creates a file

Scanner in = new Scanner(reader);

if (in.nextLine() etc...) {// do this}

in.close();

do i have to import any thing for this java file

[No1CGIguy]

You probably have to. I know the scanner needs an import.

how to give the path of a file instead of just the file

[12SamP12]

For example: if you want to write a file on your desktop:

File someFile = new File("C:\Users\-username-\Desk­top");

[hoddie54]

@12SamP12 Isn't it File someFile = new File("C:\\Users\\-username-\\D­esk­top");

"\\" means "\" because just a "\" can represent things like line breaks etc.
