Thread: Need help with write to .dat file code from textarea

I have other part of program reading from textField which works fine. My problem is i cannot get the textArea to do the same thing:

ind = TextArea

    private void saveActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
     ind.setText(""); 
 
    String text = ind.getText();
 
 
        File file = new File("C:Inventory2.dat");
 
 
             try {
            FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file, true);
 
            String textsub = (text);
 
            out.write(textsub.getBytes());
 
            out.close();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
        }
 
    }

Am i missing somthing?

I bet nothing is written:

ind.setText(""); 
String text = ind.getText();

PhHein thank you that fixed it. setText was erasing everything so nothing was added.
