The Java FileOutputStream write(int b) writes a single byte to the file output stream. Used when writing one byte at a time (e.g., writing characters or binary data byte by byte).
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for java.io.FileOutputStream.write(int b) method −
public void write(int b)Parameters
b − The byte to be written.
Return ValueThis method does not return any value.
ExceptionIOException− If an I/O error occurs.
Example - Usage of FileOutputStream write(int b) methodThe following example shows the usage of Java FileOutputStream write(int b) method.
FileOutputStreamDemo.javapackage com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; public class FileOutputStreamDemo { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { FileOutputStream fos = null; FileInputStream fis = null; byte b = 66; int i = 0; char c; try { // create new file output stream fos = new FileOutputStream("test.txt"); // writes byte to the output stream fos.write(b); // flushes the content to the underlying stream fos.flush(); // create new file input stream fis = new FileInputStream("test.txt"); // read till the end of the file while((i = fis.read())!=-1) { // convert integer to character c = (char)i; // prints System.out.print(c); } } catch(Exception ex) { // if an error occurs ex.printStackTrace(); } finally { // closes and releases system resources from stream if(fos!=null) fos.close(); if(fis!=null) fis.close(); } } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result−
BExample - Writing ASCII Characters to a File
The following example shows the usage of Java FileOutputStream write(int b) method.
FileOutputStreamDemo.javapackage com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; public class FileOutputStreamDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("output.txt")) { fos.write(72); // ASCII for 'H' fos.write(101); // ASCII for 'e' fos.write(108); // ASCII for 'l' fos.write(108); // ASCII for 'l' fos.write(111); // ASCII for 'o' System.out.println("Characters written to output.txt."); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result−
Characters written to output.txt.Explanation
A FileOutputStream is created for output.txt.
The write(int b) method writes individual ASCII characters:
72 → 'H'
101 → 'e'
108 → 'l'
108 → 'l'
111 → 'o'
The resulting output.txt file contains: Hello
The following example shows the usage of Java FileOutputStream write(int b) method.
FileOutputStreamDemo.javapackage com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; public class FileOutputStreamDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { byte[] binaryData = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}; // Binary values try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("binary_output.bin")) { for (int b : binaryData) { fos.write(b); // Writing one byte at a time } System.out.println("Binary data written to binary_output.bin."); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }Output()
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result−
Binary data written to binary_output.bin.Explanation
A byte array {10, 20, 30, 40, 50} is defined (representing binary values).
The write(int b) method writes one byte at a time using a loop.
The resulting binary_output.bin file will contain raw binary data (not readable as text).
