Text Streams

All of the text-oriented classes are derived from Reader and Writer. By understanding them, you'll have a handle on dealing with their descendents.

Writer

The Writer class writes character data to a stream. It has the following methods:

• write(c)— writes a single character to the text stream

• write(cbuf)— writes a sequence of characters to the text stream

• write(cbuf, off, len)— writes a sequence of characters to the text stream starting at the offset into the stream and copying to len in the buffer

• write(str)— writes out a string to the text stream

• write(str, off, len)— writes out a string from the given offset to the given length

• close()— closes the text stream

• flush()— flushes the content of the text stream; used if the stream supports ...
