PrintWriter deletes contents of file

[Justin_]

code:

PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(inputFile));

How do i make it open the file for writing without deleting the contents of the file?

Please whatever you do, don't suggest that I copy the contents of the file in an array first.

You're trying to "append" to the file. The FileWriter class makes this quite easy to do.
