File - doesn't create any...

Hi! I have a little problem.
Part of my plugin:

Code:

file = new PrintWriter(this.getDataFolder()+"file.txt");
file.println("Example");
file.close();

I put it in 'try' because of errors.
But no files appear in server/plugins/pluginname folder

I need Your help immediately!

Try this instead.

Code:

file = new PrintWriter(this.getDataFolder() + (File.separatorChar + "file.txt"));
file.println("Example");
file.close();

 

don't forget to save it after you write in it. never worked with the file.close(); so Idk if that will do. but try to do file.save

 

You mean you never closed the pipe to your file and left the file handler occupied?!

TGF
also in the choice of file constructors you can use the one that takes a file and a string i.e. Also you may need to flush the stream before closing.

Code:

public final class SomePlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    ...
    public void onEnable() {
         ....
         FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(new File(getDataFolder(), "file.txt"));
         fw.println("Hello World");
         fw.flush();
         fw.close();
         ...
    }
    ...
}

 

Code:

Call the file:
File oriyml = new File(getDataFolder()+ File.separator + "players" + File.separator + convidou +  ".yml");
        FileConfiguration orifile = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(oriyml);
Save it:
try
        {
            orifile.save(oriyml);
        }
        catch (IOException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

This is what I use. Is it wrong?Don't care. It works

 

I think he mentions it because it could be a potential memory leak.

 

In reality it goes beyond a memory leak, You're resource (file handlers) leaking, which is even worse.

 

;/ It is not working.
Only config.yml created...

Can I use configuration functions to save data in yml like in config?
Hope You help!

 

This post here answers your question.

 

I apologize for my answer yesterday. I admit I was a little out of myself and should've stayed out of talking to people when it's like this x). Once again, I'm sorry. If you could explain me a little more about file handling, please do so. Take your time and feel free to deny my request :3 Once again xD Sorry for anyone who thinks I was rude x.x
