It work but, i get this "The program must write absolutely all of the entered lines (including "exit") to the file, each on a new line."

Question about the task

Under discussion

package com.codegym.task.task13.task1319; import jdk.nashorn.internal.runtime.ECMAException; import java.io.*; /* Writing to a file from the console */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); try { String output = ""; BufferedWriter file = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("C:\\Users\\Stefan\\Desktop\\test.txt")); while(!output.equals("exit")){ output = reader.readLine(); file.write(output); file.newLine(); } reader.close(); file.close(); }catch (Exception e){ System.out.println(e); } } }

1. Read a file name from the console.
2. Read lines from the console until the user enters the "exit".
3. Write all the entered lines to the file, each on a new line.

Requirements:

The program must read the file name from the console.
Create and use a BufferedWriter object.
The program should not read anything from the file system.
The program must read lines from the console until the user enters "exit".
The program must write absolutely all of the entered lines (including "exit") to the file, each on a new line.
The main method should close the BufferedWriter object after using it.

useful

Hello Stefan, I see you got a BufferedReader there but I don't see you using it to "Read a file name from the console." Also, you're hard coding the file path on the writer. Try using your reader to take the desired file path and use it on the writer Feel free to PM me if you need further help ;) Happy coding!

1. Read a file name from the console. 3. Write all the entered lines to the file, each on a new line. Why do you "read a file name from the console" if you don't "write all the entered lines to the file" (this file, from the p.1:)).
