ArrayList and casting

[jisoo22]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the BufferedWriter class to write files to a text file via an ArrayList of strings. Unfortunately I run into a compile-time error about not being able to resolve symbols. Is this a casting issue? Here's the snippet of code I have:


FileWriter wr = new FileWriter(outFileName);
BufferedWriter outFile = new BufferedWriter (wr);

for(int i = 0; i < Stringlist.size(); i++)
{
outFile.write(Stringlist.get(i));
outFile.newLine();
}



I think the &quot;get&quot; method returns an object, but I need a string to make this work. I tried casting the object into a string but I find that it doesn't write anything to the text file. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jisoo22

You need to close the file when you are done writing.

The Full code is needed.....along with the exception and also the line number if the code is too long
I think the problem is in imported class or package if any....

in short (see your other post on the same question for a longer answer)
.get returns an object
.write expectes a String input

cast what .get gives you into a string so the .write will write it -------------------------------------------
