I am attempting to create a text file within my project folder (not within the src but the System library). I have already created a print to display the proper info in the correct format. I copied and pasted this and edited the "System.out.println" to "PrintWriter.println". I am not sure if this code is correct although it shows no errors.
try {
File file = new File("SortedLists.txt");
FileWriter w = new FileWriter("SortedLists.txt");
writer = new PrintWriter(w);
for(Team p: roster){
writer.println("Team Name: "+p.gettName()+", "+p.gettAbrv());
for(Riders r: p.getRide()) {
writer.println(r);
}
writer.printf("Total Team Donations: %.2f$\n",p.getSumD());
}
}
catch(IOException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
finally {
writer.close();
}
If you want to know where is your created file, you simply write for example
System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath());
Furthermore, if you want to create a file in a relative path (say in a folder for example) you can do something like this:
File folder = new File("folderName");
folder.mkdir(); // create a folder in your current work space
File file = new File(folder, "fileName.txt"); // put the file inside the folder
file.createNewFile(); // create the file
To set the path for the file create the file as follows:
String fileLocation = absolutePathToFile;
File file = new File(Location);
