STRANGE fits of passion have I known:
And I will dare to tell,
But in the lover's ear alone,
What once to me befell.
Writing Data to a File Using an Output Stream
In this section, I will show you how to write a stanza from the poem
Lucy
by William Wordsworth to a file named
luci2.txt
. The stanza is as follows:
When she I loved look'd every day
Fresh as a rose in June,
I to her cottage bent my way,
Beneath an evening moon.
The following steps are needed to write to the file:
•
Identify the data sink, which is the file to which the data will be written.
•
Create an output stream using the file.
•
Write the data to the file using the output stream.
•
Flush the output stream.
•
Close the output stream.
Identifying the Data Sink
Your data sink could be simply the file path as a string or a
File
object representing the pathname of the file. Let's
assume that the
luci2.txt
file is in the current working directory.
// The data sink
String destFile = "luci2.txt";
