Outputfiles to an outputStream in their Original text format

[Stanley Mungai]

The code I have here Outputs these text files into Pdf Files because I have used a PdfWriter. Is there a way of Using A BufferedWriter to Output these Files by their Original text Format? Here is the code am using:

FileInputStream fstemp = new FileInputStream("C:/Temporary/" + filenames[i]); 
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("C:/Statements/" + filenames[i]);
Document output1 = new Document(PageSize.B4);
DataInputStream in1 = new DataInputStream(fstemp);
PdfConverter brtemp = new PdfConverter(new InputStreamReader(in1));
PdfWriter writer1 = PdfWriter.getInstance(output1, fos);   
output1.open();
writer1.open();
String strLine;
while((strLine = brtemp.readLine()) != null){
     Font ftemp = new Font(Font.NORMAL);
     Paragraph ptemp = new Paragraph(strLine, ftemp);
     output1.add(ptemp);
}
output1.close();
fstemp.close();
writer1.close();

The Input Directory C:/Temporary Contains Text files. I need the to be Output into C:/Statements directory In their Original text format. Please Help.

Given this...

Is there a way of Using A BufferedWriter to Output these Files by their Original text Format?

...I would think the answer to this would be obvious.

Jeff, it is not obvious, I want to know how to connect a Buffered Writer (then) with an outputStream.

If it were me, and I were just copying a file, any old file, I wouldn't use readers and writers at all. I'd just use FileInputStream and FileOutputStream. If I wanted specifically to copy a text file, there would also be the option of using FileReader and FileWriter, wrapped in BufferedReader and BufferedWriter.

If I had to connect a BufferedWriter with an OutputStream (which isn't really necessary here), I'd use an OuputStreamWriter in the middle.

Yep, That OutputStreamWriter Works pretty fine with my Situation something like:

BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(fos));
