How do I create a file and write to it in Java?

Question

What's the easiest way to create and write to a (text) file in Java?

Answer 1

To create and write a text file :

List<String> lines = Arrays.asList("The first line", "The second line");

Path file = Paths.get("the-file-name.txt");

Files.write(file, lines, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

//Files.write(file, lines, StandardCharsets.UTF_8, StandardOpenOption.APPEND);

Or you can also use this:

try (Writer writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("myFile.txt"), StandardCharsets.UTF_8)))

 {

    writer.write("text to write");

} 

catch (IOException ex) 

{

    // Handle me

}
