import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;

public class FileWriterExample {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        FileWriter fw= null;
        File file =null;
        try {
            file=new File("WriteFile.txt");
            if(!file.exists()) {
                file.createNewFile();
            }
            fw = new FileWriter(file);
            fw.write("This is an string written to a file");
            fw.flush();
            fw.close();
            System.out.println("File written Succesfully");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

这里有一个创建或覆盖文件的小示例程序。这是一个长版本，因此可以更容易理解。

import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.Writer;

public class writer {
    public void writing() {
        try {
            //Whatever the file path is.
            File statText = new File("E:/Java/Reference/bin/images/statsTest.txt");
            FileOutputStream is = new FileOutputStream(statText);
            OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(is);    
            Writer w = new BufferedWriter(osw);
            w.write("POTATO!!!");
            w.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println("Problem writing to the file statsTest.txt");
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[]args) {
        writer write = new writer();
        write.writing();
    }
}

在Java8中，使用文件和路径，并使用trywithresources构造。

import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class WriteFile{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        String file = "text.txt";
        System.out.println("Writing to file: " + file);
        // Files.newBufferedWriter() uses UTF-8 encoding by default
        try (BufferedWriter writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(Paths.get(file))) {
            writer.write("Java\n");
            writer.write("Python\n");
            writer.write("Clojure\n");
            writer.write("Scala\n");
            writer.write("JavaScript\n");
        } // the file will be automatically closed
    }
}

在Java 11+中，编写纯文本：

Files.writeString(Path.of("filename.txt"), "some-text");

最好的方法是使用Java7：Java7引入了一种处理文件系统的新方法，以及一个新的实用程序类—Files。使用Files类，我们还可以创建、移动、复制、删除文件和目录；它还可以用于读取和写入文件。

public void saveDataInFile(String data) throws IOException {
    Path path = Paths.get(fileName);
    byte[] strToBytes = data.getBytes();

    Files.write(path, strToBytes);
}

使用FileChannel写入如果您正在处理大型文件，FileChannel可以比标准IO更快。以下代码使用FileChannel将字符串写入文件：

public void saveDataInFile(String data) 
  throws IOException {
    RandomAccessFile stream = new RandomAccessFile(fileName, "rw");
    FileChannel channel = stream.getChannel();
    byte[] strBytes = data.getBytes();
    ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(strBytes.length);
    buffer.put(strBytes);
    buffer.flip();
    channel.write(buffer);
    stream.close();
    channel.close();
}

使用DataOutputStream写入

public void saveDataInFile(String data) throws IOException {
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
    DataOutputStream outStream = new DataOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(fos));
    outStream.writeUTF(data);
    outStream.close();
}

使用FileOutputStream写入

现在让我们看看如何使用FileOutputStream将二进制数据写入文件。以下代码转换String int字节，并使用FileOutputStream将字节写入文件：

public void saveDataInFile(String data) throws IOException {
    FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
    byte[] strToBytes = data.getBytes();
    outputStream.write(strToBytes);

    outputStream.close();
}

使用PrintWriter写入我们可以使用PrintWriter将格式化文本写入文件：

public void saveDataInFile() throws IOException {
    FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter(fileName);
    PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(fileWriter);
    printWriter.print("Some String");
    printWriter.printf("Product name is %s and its price is %d $", "iPhone", 1000);
    printWriter.close();
}

使用BufferedWriter写入：使用BufferedWriter将字符串写入新文件：

public void saveDataInFile(String data) throws IOException {
    BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
    writer.write(data);

    writer.close();
}

将字符串附加到现有文件：

public void saveDataInFile(String data) throws IOException {
    BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName, true));
    writer.append(' ');
    writer.append(data);

    writer.close();
}

如果您希望获得相对轻松的体验，还可以查看Apache Commons IO包，更具体地说是FileUtils类。

永远不要忘记检查第三方库。用于日期操作的Joda Time、用于常见字符串操作的Apache Commons Lang StringUtils等可以使代码更可读。

Java是一种很棒的语言，但标准库有时有点低级。功能强大，但级别较低。
