able to create a file but can't write??

[aliya sharma]

Hello,
THis is a follow up from my previous post. I'm able to create a file but can't write to it. This is my code:

BufferedWriter out = null;
String filename = "C:\\froogle.txt";
 
 try{
   // File output = new File(filename);
    out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(filename));
    } catch(IOException e){
    System.out.println("could not create file"+e.toString());
    }
try{
out.write("product_url" + "\t" +
"name" + "\t" +
"description" + "\t" +
"price" + "\t" +
"image_url" + "\t" +
"category");
System.out.println("output written");
    } catch(Exception e){
    System.out.println("no file"+ e.toString);
    } 

After i run this code, no exceptions are thrown and on my console its shows "output written". but when i open froogle.txt on C drive . there isn't anything in there. COuld someone please point me to the right path. I would realy appreciate it. I've been stuck on this for long time now. THanks.

the last catch should be:

catch(Exception e){    System.out.println("no file"+ e.toString());    }

I managed to figured it out. Don't kow what i did differently though, but its working now. Code is same as mentioned before. I just ran it and its writing to the file. Now, on to, gettign information from database and writing to a file. I'll be back with more questions .

Try flushing the output stream before you end the program.
