I need to output to a file that probably wont exist so all I need to know is how to create the text file of name 'name' in the working directory.

It must be so simple that nobody puts it anywhere on the internet cuz I can't find it.

I believe this is what you are looking for.The output in this file is a string.

CODE

import java.io.*;

public class Program1
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        try{
            FileOutputStream name=new FileOutputStream("name.txt");
            BufferedOutputStream buff = new BufferedOutputStream(name);
            DataOutputStream data = new DataOutputStream(buff);
            int x=1020;
            data.writeChars("xsf");
            data.close();
        }catch(FileNotFoundException fne){
            System.out.println("File not found in current working directory");
        }catch(IOException ioe){
            System.out.println("IO exceptioin");
        }
    }
}

Thanks for the reply, Im so use to busy forums that I freak out when I don't get replies. I can no longer add anything to my assignment but I am still interested.

I see that you are just catching the exception but I don't believe anything in there is creating a text file in the working dir, or am I mistaken? What I needed was a way to make an empty text file in the working dir since for that assignment it was pretty much 100% chance the file would not yet exist, then I would write to it as you have shown.

Nowhere on the Internet? What Internet are you talking about because a quick Google search pulls up multiple results for me.

I tend to put "s around my google searches so less garbage comes up. I guess in my rush to get done I ignored some of the simpler searches. I believe I used the words "text file" in most of my searches. Or "creating a file in java".
