I have the following code to initialise a printwriter object--
/* This function is used to initialise the printwriter element so that it can begin the task of writing data into assignor.txt file...
*
*/
public void startwriterassignor(String filename, boolean appendToFile) {
//pw = null;
try
{
if (appendToFile== true)
{
//If the file already exists, start writing at the end of it.
pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(filename, true));
}
else {
pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(filename, false));
// this is equal to:
// pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(filename, false));
}
//pw.flush();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
First I invoke the above function using the call below--
startwriterassignor("assignor.txt", false);
After writing some data to the file I again invoke same function using call below-
startwriterassignor("assignor.txt", true);
After the second call to 'startiwriterassignor', more data is written (appended) into the file. However new data is not being appended to the file assignor.txt, how do I rectify this error?
