Read from text ouput ascii values

[wallaceoc80]

I have to write a simple Java program using file input and ouput. It has to read from a text file. This is how I did that:

try
{
   BufferedReader brInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
   String strInFileName = brInput.readLine();
   File fInput = new File(strInFileName);
   RandomAccessFile rafIn = new RandomAccessFile(fInput, "r");
...
...

That works fine but how do I write the ascii values to another file? Whenever I try to do it, it just writes the characters to the other file.

Thanks for the help.

Use the FileInputStream and FileOutputStream instead of RandomAccessFile.

File fInput = new File(strInFileName);
FileInputStream fis = ...
FileOutputStream fos = ...
byte[] buf = new byte[(int)fInput.length()];
fis.read(buf);
fos.write(buf);
//flush & close streams
