make a file with some path

[ojvm]

Tanks in advance to all for the time of reading this.

Well i'm trying tho create a file in the hard drive, actually i'm using
the class FileWriter and BufferedWriter together. the code looks like
this.

FileWriter escrivearchivo = new FileWriter(nombreArchivo,true);
BufferedWriter escribebuffer = new BufferedWriter(escrivearchivo);
escribebuffer.write(String.valueOf(registros.getString(z)) + ",");
escribebuffer.newLine();
escribebuffer.flush();

so, this make a file but a don't now how to say in what path put it on.
that means the file is created in c:\windows\system32.

all this is runing in tomcat.

Put your files (or an URL telling where the user put them)
someplace you can find them again. I suggust 'user.home'

You just need to add the path to the file name. Using java.io.File is the most
convenient way to do that (then pass it to the FileWriter constructor). Without a path,
it will be placed in current directory.

tanks a lot, i'll try your suggestion.

yes, it worked fine. and the code now looks like this.


nombreArchivo = nombreArchivo + ".txt";
File file = new File("//machine1/encuesta/" + nombreArchivo);
FileWriter escrivearchivo = new FileWriter(file,true);
BufferedWriter escribebuffer = new BufferedWriter(escrivearchivo);

File file = new File("//machine1/encuesta/" + nombreArchivo);

Better to use the form..

File file = new File("machine1", nombreArchivo);

...to ensure the file separator is correct for the platform.
