这里我们将字符串输入到文本文件中：

String content = "This is the content to write into a file";
File file = new File("filename.txt");
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file.getAbsoluteFile());
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
bw.write(content);
bw.close(); // Be sure to close BufferedWriter

我们可以轻松地创建一个新文件并向其中添加内容。

创建示例文件：

try {
    File file = new File ("c:/new-file.txt");
    if(file.createNewFile()) {
        System.out.println("Successful created!");
    }
    else {
        System.out.println("Failed to create!");
    }
}
catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

请注意，下面的每个代码示例都可能引发IOException。为了简洁起见，省略了Try/catch/finally块。有关异常处理的信息，请参阅本教程。

请注意，如果文件已经存在，下面的每个代码示例都将覆盖该文件

创建文本文件：

PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter("the-file-name.txt", "UTF-8");
writer.println("The first line");
writer.println("The second line");
writer.close();

创建二进制文件：

byte data[] = ...
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("the-file-name");
out.write(data);
out.close();

Java 7+用户可以使用Files类写入文件：

创建文本文件：

List<String> lines = Arrays.asList("The first line", "The second line");
Path file = Paths.get("the-file-name.txt");
Files.write(file, lines, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
//Files.write(file, lines, StandardCharsets.UTF_8, StandardOpenOption.APPEND);

创建二进制文件：

byte data[] = ...
Path file = Paths.get("the-file-name");
Files.write(file, data);
//Files.write(file, data, StandardOpenOption.APPEND);

使用Google的Guava库，我们可以创建和写入文件容易地

package com.zetcode.writetofileex;

import com.google.common.io.Files;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class WriteToFileEx {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        String fileName = "fruits.txt";
        File file = new File(fileName);

        String content = "banana, orange, lemon, apple, plum";

        Files.write(content.getBytes(), file);
    }
}

该示例在项目根目录中创建一个新的fruits.txt文件。

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();
    }
}

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());
