file io

[ArmenD]

hi,
so i am trying to write to a file that i have created, but am recieving...
excpetion caught java.io.FileNotFoundException: OUTPUT (The system cannot find the file specified)

but i create this file with...
File outputFile = new File(outputfile);
try {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(outputFile));
}
catch...

could it be a directory problem? if so, this is a standalone app that needs to run on other ppl's desktops, how would i be able to find a universal path to save this file into?

 

[ArmenD]

sorry was missing the following line...
outputFile.createNewFile();

 

[ArmenD]

for DataOutputStream out = new...
after out.write(...) do i need to do out.flush to see outuput in file?

i am getting wierd chars written to my file.

You should always flush any IO stream before you close.
