Are you wanting to create a new file, or overwrite the input file and change the name?

Output a new file.Originally Posted by aussiemcgr
Re: File Output
How would you create the new name for the file?
When the program is done, would there be two files? The original file and the new file.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: File Output
Well if you want to create a new file, just say new File("NameOfFile.txt"); (or whatever name and extension you want). Write to that new file and close it when you are done. If there are no permission issues, Java will create the file if one doesn't exist with the specified name in the specified path.
