Buffered Text I/O

• For buffered text output, use the character stream:

  • BufferedWriter out =
  • new BufferedWriter(
  • new OutputStreamWriter(
  • new FileOutputStream( filename ) ) );

• Similarly, for buffered text input, use:

  • BufferedReader in =
  • new BufferedReader(
  • new InputStreamReader(
  • new FileInputStream( filename ) ) );

• Optionally use the subclasses FileWriter and FileReader for brevity (as in the previous foil).

• Note that the BufferedReader class has a handy readLine() method for sequential text input.
