adding info to a txt file w/ java and then saving it...

[zskillz]

hey all, i know you can do it, but the truth be told... i don't want to spend the time figuring it out myself so i figure i'll ask you all

I want to write a java program that opens and reads data from a txt file. then I want it to open a different file and report the results of that data in the new text file. finally i want it to close and save the 2nd txt file with the new information added.... how do i do this??

thanks

a wee bit lazy, aren't we?

anyway:
//to read from file
//vars
String textFileIn = null;
String line = null;

//how you determine filename
//can be as easy as arg[0]
BufferedReader textIn = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(textFileIn)));

//to write to file
String textFileOut = null;
String workingString = null;
//how you determine textFileOut is up to you
//how you determine workingString is up to you
BufferedWriter textOut = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(new File(textFileOut)));
textOut.write(workingString);
textOut.close();
