Writing to a file from the console

  • 16
  • Locked
Now you need to write something to a file. You need to first read the file name from the console, then read lines entered by the user until the user enters "exit". Finally, write all the entered lines to the file, each on a new line.
You can't complete this task, because you're not signed in.

I think that that line: "Program must absolutely write all of the entered lines (includes "exit") to the file, each on a new line" Isn't clear about requirenment, which is: user must store all lines in buffer, then after it receive "exit" line in console, write all contents stored in buffer with "exit" line to the file.

It's pretty clear to me. Read each line from console and write to file. It's a loop, if the current line happens to be "exit", write it to file and break out of the loop. That's all. Maybe you used a different method, I'm not sure but this was what I understood from the requirement.

This looked scary, but I got it on my first try! One of the really helpful things about IDEA is that, when you have your BufferedWriter object, you can then type the name of the object plus a period and it will show you all the methods you might want to use. For this task, that helped a lot with figuring out how to write the data to the file and tell it to go to the next line of the file.

For those with condition 5 error; I forgot I had hardcoded my file path. This could be one of the reasons this condition fails (I had it all running ages ago...:)

Admin, I believe that there might be some issues with the tests. I have passed this exercise but I was not able to see the provided in console text in the file.

tip: by adding + "\n" to any string you are adding a line break to it.

I look at so much other code to kick-off ideas. It's already written and in the wild to use and even improve it. Look at StackO / Reddit / Chat GPT / Googs / YouTube / GitHub / Codegym Articles / CG Chat all that --- so many cool and different implementations to ponder over ...
