如果希望将字符串中的回车字符保留在文件中下面是一个代码示例：

    jLabel1 = new JLabel("Enter SQL Statements or SQL Commands:");
    orderButton = new JButton("Execute");
    textArea = new JTextArea();
    ...


    // String captured from JTextArea()
    orderButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
            // When Execute button is pressed
            String tempQuery = textArea.getText();
            tempQuery = tempQuery.replaceAll("\n", "\r\n");
            try (PrintStream out = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("C:/Temp/tempQuery.sql"))) {
                out.print(tempQuery);
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            System.out.println(tempQuery);
        }

    });

你可以这样做：

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

class WriteText
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {   
        try {
            String text = "Your sample content to save in a text file.";
            BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("sample.txt"));
            out.write(text);
            out.close();
        }
        catch (IOException e)
        {
            System.out.println("Exception ");       
        }

        return ;
    }
};

最好在finally块中关闭writer/outputstream，以防发生意外

finally{
   if(writer != null){
     try{
        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
     }
     catch(IOException ioe){
         ioe.printStackTrace();
     }
   }
}

看看Java文件API

快速示例：

try (PrintStream out = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("filename.txt"))) {
    out.print(text);
}

我的方法基于流，因为在所有Android版本上运行，并且需要有效的资源，如URL/URI，欢迎任何建议。

就目前而言，流（InputStream和OutputStream）传输二进制数据，当开发人员将字符串写入流时，必须首先将其转换为字节，或者换句话说，对其进行编码。

public boolean writeStringToFile(File file, String string, Charset charset) {
    if (file == null) return false;
    if (string == null) return false;
    return writeBytesToFile(file, string.getBytes((charset == null) ? DEFAULT_CHARSET:charset));
}

public boolean writeBytesToFile(File file, byte[] data) {
    if (file == null) return false;
    if (data == null) return false;
    FileOutputStream fos;
    BufferedOutputStream bos;
    try {
        fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
        bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
        bos.write(data, 0, data.length);
        bos.flush();
        bos.close();
        fos.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        Logger.e("!!! IOException");
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

在Java 7中，您可以执行以下操作：

String content = "Hello File!";
String path = "C:/a.txt";
Files.write( Paths.get(path), content.getBytes());
