What is the simplest way to write a text file in Java?

Question

I am wondering what is the easiest (and simplest) way to write a text file in Java. Please be simple, because I am a beginner :D

I searched the web and found this code, but I understand 50% of it.

import java.io.BufferedWriter; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileWriter; import java.io.IOException;  public class WriteToFileExample { public static void main(String[] args) {     try {          String content = "This is the content to write into file";          File file = new  File("C:/Users/Geroge/SkyDrive/Documents/inputFile.txt");          // if file doesnt exists, then create it         if (!file.exists()) {             file.createNewFile();         }          FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file.getAbsoluteFile());         BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);         bw.write(content);         bw.close();          System.out.println("Done");      } catch (IOException e) {         e.printStackTrace();     } } 

}

Answer 1

With Java 7 and up, a one liner using Files:

String text = "Text to save to file"; Files.write(Paths.get("./fileName.txt"), text.getBytes()); 

Answer 2

You could do this by using JAVA 7 new File API.

code sample: `

public class FileWriter7 {     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {         List<String> lines = Arrays.asList(new String[] { "This is the content to write into file" });         String filepath = "C:/Users/Geroge/SkyDrive/Documents/inputFile.txt";         writeSmallTextFile(lines, filepath);     }      private static void writeSmallTextFile(List<String> aLines, String aFileName) throws IOException {         Path path = Paths.get(aFileName);         Files.write(path, aLines, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);     } }
