How to create easy text file

For working with files you need to use:

import java.io.*;

When the output file exists, it will be overriden.

File file = new File( "c:\\test.txt" );

try {
  /* create writer */
  FileWriter writer = new FileWriter( file );

  /* get string for new row */
  String newRow = System.getProperty( "line.separator" );

  /* write lines */
  writer.write( "First row" + newRow );
  writer.write( "Second row" + newRow );
  writer.write( "One;Two;Three" + newRow );

  /* close file */>
  writer.close();

} catch (IOException ex) {
  Logger.getLogger(Window.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

The line separator is OS specific char(s) sequence for separating text file lines.

The text output file looks like this:

First row
Second row
One;Two;Three
