Thread: Writing string to file

I am working on this program and I'm almost done but when I try to write a string to a file I get this error:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 98

I'm just wondering what causes this and how you could fix it. Thanks!

When I do this

	public void write(String key, String password, File data) throws IOException { // Writes the encrypted string to a file.
		System.out.println(data);
		out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(data, true));
		out.write(encrypted(key, password));
		out.newLine();
		out.close();
		System.out.println("Your password was saved successfuly! " + encrypted(key, password));
	}
}

I get this error

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 98

and the value of "data" is this (which is correct):

/home/newbi3/.encrypter/encrypted.log

But when I do this

	public void write(String key, String password) throws IOException { // Writes the encrypted string to a file.
                File data = new File("/home/newbi3/.encrypter/encrypted.log");
		System.out.println(data);
		out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(data, true));
		out.write(encrypted(key, password));
		out.newLine();
		out.close();
		System.out.println("Your password was saved successfuly! " + encrypted(key, password));
	}
}

I get no errors and the value of "data" is still the same. Why is this?
