[java] reading a file, then appending to it

[Going to Cali]

Hey,

basically creating a multiple choice system. I'm storing the results from tests in a file called results.txt. I've setup the file and when it takes a test, it writes to it perfectly. However, when I start a new test, it blanks the file and starts again rather than appending to the file.

I think i need to read the file first and then append to it. Anyone suggest how I'd do that, can't quite figure it out?

Thanks.

Solved, just needed to open the file in append mode like this;

out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("results.txt", true));

off the top of my head:

//append to textfile

try
{
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("filename", true));
out.write("aString");
out.close();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
}

EDIT: damn, too slow lol
