    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    YOUR CODE GOES HERE
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    How is the program supposed to work? Some prompts to guide the user or comments in the code that explain what is to happen would be helpful. If you're getting error messages, post them in their entirety.

    Is anything printed when the println() statement is not a comment?

    Find a "write to file" tutorial tailored for your IDE or editor (if possible) that is intended to be run from the console and follow it exactly. Once you work out the details of opening, reading, and writing to files, you should be able to repeat the lessons learned and expand your program to do more things.

    If the println() executes for all the lines input to the program, then the write() method is also being executed and the file is written to.
    The code works for me (after I removed the input file references)
