PrintWriter questions

[shankar radhakrishnan]

Hi,
I was trying to write to a file. It worked fine with
DataOutputStream p = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("Demo.txt"));
p.write("Hello");
This wrote "Hello" to file Demo.txt.
But when i did the following
PrintWriter p = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("Demo.txt"));
p.write("Hello");
It did not write anything on to the file Demo.txt. Instead, a batch file was created with the following text
@ECHO OFF
C:
CD "\Java\JTips Mock Exams"
C:\jdk1.3\bin\java.exe input
PAUSE
The file name that i used was input.java and i was working in this directory c:\Java\JTips Mock Exams. I dont know why this was happening. Thanks in advance.
I am using jdk1.3

Did you flush and close P?

Thanks Alicea. I did not flush and close previously. I did add p.flush and p.close this time. It did write to the file. But it still creates the batch file. Thanks for your help.
