I have tried reviewing old threads about this topic but none of the solutions seem to work for me. I have trying to write to a .txt file named "receipt.txt" but with the following code I am getting nothing. No file created (and obviously nothing in the file that doesn't exist) no errors just nothing.
//Write to File
String fileName = "receipt.txt";
try{
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(fileName);
writer.println("Thank you for shopping with us");
writer.println("Name: " + customerName);
writer.println("Returning Customer: " + previousCustomer );
writer.println("Phone: " + phoneNumber);
writer.println("Shirt Type: " + shirtType);
writer.println("Shirt Color: " + shirtColor);
writer.println("Shirt Material: " + shirtMaterial);
writer.println("Item Amount: " + itmAmt);
writer.println("Total Cost: " + fmt3.format(totalCostMsg));
writer.close();
writer.flush();
System.out.println("Receipt printed");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Your output is writen to the file named fileName
replace
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter("fileName");
with
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(fileName);
EDIT:
Apparenttly you are just not looking for the file in wrong place, add the following statement to see where it has bee created:
System.out.println(new File(fileName).getAbsolutePath());
Also note that the order of close
, flush
is not correct. flush
should be called first.
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter("fileName");
should be
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(fileName);
as you have already defined
String fileName = "receipt.txt";
