Regards Punit

File output=new File("D:\\Punit\\Output.txt");
boolean a=output.exists();
System.out.println("the file exists??"+a);       //true
a=output.canWrite();
System.out.println("the file can be written :"+a);    //true
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(output));
String resp_str=resp.toString();
int lenStr=resp_str.length();
int i=0;
while(lenStr>0){
    pw.write(resp_str.charAt(i));
    i++;
    lenStr--;
}

I moved your question from the Java Articles section to the Java Forum section.
This is the place to ask questions. The Java Articles section is for published
informative (hopefully) articles. Please post your questions in the Java Forum
section. Thanks.

Add a few debugging prints such as:

System.out.println("resp_str: "+resp_str);
System.out.println("length: "+lenStr);

add them just before that while loop and see what happens. You do close that
file after you've finished printing do you?

I wrote the above two linwes...
The string resp_str is displayed and the length of the file is also obtained...
but nothing gets written into the file....
Also u said about closing the file..that I m not doing as I dont knoe how to close the file....

Closing the file is super easy. You just do ..., ah but it's there in the specs for the File class. Look it up.
