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.

package com.codegym.task.task13.task1319; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.BufferedWriter; import java.io.FileWriter; import java.io.InputStreamReader; /* 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{ BufferedWriter wr = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(reader.readLine())); while (true){ String name = reader.readLine(); wr.write("\n"); if(name.equals("exit")) break; wr.newLine(); } wr.close(); } catch (Exception ignored){ } } }

I really can't understand this task, the task begins with "read a file name". Where do you read a file name in here?

This code does not write anything but a lot of blank lines to the file. I think line 21 you meant to have it write the data, but that is just writing new lines. It also has to write "exit" to the file.
