In the following code shows how to use DataOutputStream.writeShort(int v) method.
// w ww. j a v a 2 s.c om import java.io.DataInputStream; import java.io.DataOutputStream; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { short[] s = { 123, 234 }; FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("c:\\test.txt"); DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(fos); for (short j : s) { dos.writeShort(j); } dos.flush(); InputStream is = new FileInputStream("c:\\test.txt"); DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(is); while (dis.available() > 0) { short k = dis.readShort(); System.out.print(k); } } }
