The following code does not produce a file (I can't see the file anywhere). What is missing?
try
{
//create a temporary file
String timeLog = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
File logFile=new File(timeLog);
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(logFile));
writer.write (string);
//Close writer
writer.close();
} catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

04-Oct-2013I think your expectations and reality don't match (but when do they ever ;))
Basically, where you think the file is been written and where the file is actually been written are not equal (hmmm, perhaps I should write and if statement ;))
public class TestWriteFile {public static void main(String[] args) {
BufferedWriter writer = null;
try {
//create a temporary file
String timeLog = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
File logFile = new File(timeLog);
// This will output the full path where the file will be written to...
System.out.println(logFile.getCanonicalPath());
writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(logFile));
writer.write("Hello world!");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
// Close the writer regardless of what happens...
writer.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
}
Also note that your example will override any existing files. If you want to append the text to the file you should...
Instead...
