file output

-----------------------------------

whats the standard file output for java now?
i'm using PrintWriter + BufferedWriter + FileWriter is it out dated? :|

and another question for PrintWriter, if i were to use it to write a file, it will always start at the beginning of the file, but say theres already something in the file, and i dont want to over write it, how do i skip all those and go to the end? any special method?

You can just do something like

PrintStream pr =  new PrintStream(new FileWriter(...));
pr.println("Bacon");
pr.print("eg");
pr.print("gs\n");

what about skipping to the end of the file instead of over writing?

Add the argument `append` (second one for FileWriter contructor) the value of `true`.
