This class inherits from the OutputStreamWriter class. The class is used for writing streams of characters.
This class has several constructors to create required objects. Following is a list.
Sr.No. Constructor & Description 1FileWriter(File file)
This constructor creates a FileWriter object given a File object.
2FileWriter(File file, boolean append)
This constructor creates a FileWriter object given a File object with a boolean indicating whether or not to append the data written.
3FileWriter(FileDescriptor fd)
This constructor creates a FileWriter object associated with the given file descriptor.
4FileWriter(String fileName)
This constructor creates a FileWriter object, given a file name.
5FileWriter(String fileName, boolean append)
This constructor creates a FileWriter object given a file name with a boolean indicating whether or not to append the data written.
Once you have FileWriter object in hand, then there is a list of helper methods, which can be used to manipulate the files.
Sr.No. Method & Description 1public void write(int c) throws IOException
Writes a single character.
2public void write(char [] c, int offset, int len)
Writes a portion of an array of characters starting from offset and with a length of len.
3public void write(String s, int offset, int len)
Write a portion of a String starting from offset and with a length of len.
ExampleFollowing is an example to demonstrate class −
import java.io.*; public class FileRead { public static void main(String args[])throws IOException { File file = new File("Hello1.txt"); // creates the file file.createNewFile(); // creates a FileWriter Object FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file); // Writes the content to the file writer.write("This\n is\n an\n example\n"); writer.flush(); writer.close(); // Creates a FileReader Object FileReader fr = new FileReader(file); char [] a = new char[50]; fr.read(a); // reads the content to the array for(char c : a) System.out.print(c); // prints the characters one by one fr.close(); } }
This will produce the following result −
