18. PrintWriter Purpose    coderanch.com

It does not do much that a Writer does not do. Both Writers and PrintWriters accept Strings as input. PrintWriter has methods called print() and println() that are similar to those methods in PrintStream. PrintWriter is mainly meant for people who are upgrading their character streams from PrintStreams (8-bit) to Writers (16-bit) so that they can use the same API.

Everything that is a InputStream/OutputStream is used to handle raw byte streams. Everything that is a Reader/Writer is used to handle character data. In your case the InputStreamReader provides the conversion from raw bytes to character data. Usually it does so using some specified encoding, in your case it uses your platform default encoding. The PrintWriter does the same for the ...

58. How to close PrintWriter?    forums.oracle.com

It has nothing to do with closing the writer. Every writer written as part of the standard libraries has close in its finalizer. Although the jvm doesn't guarantee when or if the finalizer will actually run, it usually does, and you wouldn't be consistently seeing it erase your file. No, your problem is that you open a print writer to the ...

calling close() automatically flushs the data out of PrintWriter's buffer onto wherever it's intended to go, see the flush() method in the api for more info. when you call write() on an output stream it stores it into it's buffer instead of writing straight to your file until the buffer itself overflows or is flushed, that way less I/O operations are ...

68. strange PrintWriter problem    forums.oracle.com

I didn't look at your code just making a wild guess. Perhaps you are closing the writer each time. So the next time it comes to writing you simply overwrite what is already in the file. You can use a FileWriter instead and the constructor which has a boolean that allows you to append to a file.

71. BufferedReader and PrintWriter question    forums.oracle.com

"cannot find symbol" (with library methods) is often the compiler's way of saying you have the arguments wrong. In this case you are sending the FileWriter constructor a Scanner argument. There is no such constructor. You have the scanner, but you're supposed to use it to find out what file name the user wants!

79. PrintWriter does not always send (?)    forums.oracle.com

It mightn't be. There are a few other things. (a) readLine() will return null rather than throwing an EOFException, so your catch block for EOFException is misleading.

(c) You should always close the socket output ...
