PrintWriter not printing out complete string
filewriter, io, java, printwriter, string
Solution
Do you close the `PrintWriter`? From its javadoc
Unlike the PrintStream class, if automatic flushing is enabled it will be done only when one of the println() methods is invoked, rather than whenever a newline character happens to be output. The println() methods use the platform's own notion of line separator rather than the newline character.
If you do close the `PrintWriter` (and not the FileWriter!) try a `flush()` after printing, to force that.
Problem
I have the following code ``` FileWriter F = new FileWriter("out.txt"); PrintWriter H = new PrintWriter(F); H.print(split[split.length - 2]); H.print("END"); ``` When I examine the txt however, the last text is NOT 'END', but part of a word in the string. It is "repa" When I do this ``` FileWriter F = new FileWriter("out.txt"); PrintWriter H = new PrintWriter(F); System.out.print(split[split.length - 2]); ``` The last bit of text I get is the number '49' - this is correct. It appears that the PrintWriter is not fully writing out the string. However, when I do this ``` FileWriter F = new FileWriter("out.txt"); PrintWriter H = new PrintWriter(F); H.print(split[split.length - 2]); H.println(pdfInText)://Another string H.print("END"); ``` The 'original' text now actually finishes - what is this?
