Creating file in java

Question

This may sound easy but I when debugging through this code it just stops debugging, can't work out if its throwing an exception or not. What am I doing wrong?

Writer output = null;
File file = new File("write.txt");
output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
for (int i = 0; i < audioDataDoubles.length; i++) {
    output.write(audioDataDoubles[i] + "\n");
}

output.close();

Stuck on the first line of code (Writer output = null)? Or stuck on the first line of the for loop? — roartechs

It would be REALLY odd for it to hang on Writer output = null; maybe on the File.... = new File...? — Jesus Ramos

Updated the question, I think its throwing an exception but cant see why — Ben Taliadoros

As you don't give a full path, it defaults to the current working directory. The message you quote pretty clearly says that you do not have authority to write in that directory. That would be your problem. — Jay

It might be the case that you are creating a file at the location where you dont have the write access. Make sure if you have that.

I changed the string and now I get this message: /C:/Users/Ben/Desktop/out.txt (No such file or directory) There is a text file called out.txt on my desktop, any ideas?

Is it giving you out.txt, or write.txt ??
