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();
}

public class Program {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String text = "Hello world";
        BufferedWriter output = null;
        try {
            File file = new File("example.txt");
            output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
            output.write(text);
        } catch ( IOException e ) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
          if ( output != null ) {
            try {
                output.close();
            }catch (IOException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
          }
        }
    }
}

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
    }
}

只有一行！路径和行是字符串

import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

Files.write(Paths.get(path), lines.getBytes());

要创建文件而不覆盖现有文件，请执行以下操作：

System.out.println("Choose folder to create file");
JFileChooser c = new JFileChooser();
c.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
c.showOpenDialog(c);
c.getSelectedFile();
f = c.getSelectedFile(); // File f - global variable
String newfile = f + "\\hi.doc";//.txt or .doc or .html
File file = new File(newfile);

try {
    //System.out.println(f);
    boolean flag = file.createNewFile();

    if(flag == true) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "File created successfully");
    }
    else {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "File already exists");
    }
    /* Or use exists() function as follows:
        if(file.exists() == true) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "File already exists");
        }
        else {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "File created successfully");
        }
    */
}
catch(Exception e) {
    // Any exception handling method of your choice
}

如果我们使用的是Java7及以上版本，并且还知道要添加（附加）到文件中的内容，我们可以使用NIO包中的newBufferedWriter方法。

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Path FILE_PATH = Paths.get("C:/temp", "temp.txt");
    String text = "\n Welcome to Java 8";

    //Writing to the file temp.txt
    try (BufferedWriter writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(FILE_PATH, StandardCharsets.UTF_8, StandardOpenOption.APPEND)) {
        writer.write(text);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

有几点需要注意：

指定字符集编码总是一个好习惯，因此我们在类StandardCharset中有常量。代码使用try with resource语句，其中资源在try之后自动关闭。

虽然OP没有询问，但为了以防万一我们想搜索具有特定关键字的行，例如机密，我们可以使用Java中的流API：

//Reading from the file the first line which contains word "confidential"
try {
    Stream<String> lines = Files.lines(FILE_PATH);
    Optional<String> containsJava = lines.filter(l->l.contains("confidential")).findFirst();
    if(containsJava.isPresent()){
        System.out.println(containsJava.get());
    }
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
