Text Formating and FileWriter

[Tyler Jordan]

Hi,
I wanted to find out if there is a way to write some text to a text file using FileWriter, close the writer, then open it up again later and append the text on the next line. Is there some way to return the cursor to the next line after writing so that the following line of text is on the line below the previous text? I'm using the following code:

public writeToFile(String configLine)
{
try
{
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter("output.txt");

writer.write(configLine);

writer.close();
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}

Look at the FileWriter doc for another constructor ... I predict you will be pleased.

I did find the additional field for the constructor to append text. However, I did not see a method that will create a new line. I was wondering if anyone knew of any tricks that could be used to go to a new line.

I figured it out, I needed to add a BufferedWriter because the FileWriter doesn't have a method to create a new line, but the BufferedWriter DOES. I added the appropriate configuration and it works great! Hope this helps out anyone who has had the same issue.
