So basically I have a file that the java code reads from and writes to.
BufferedReader works
BufferedReader bReader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(fileName)
)
);
however, BufferedWriter doesn't work:
BufferedWriter bWrite = new BufferedWriter(
new OutputStreamWriter(
getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(fileName)
)
);
'OutputStreamWriter(java.io.OutputStream)' in 'java.io.OutputStreamWriter' cannot be applied to '(java.io.InputStream)'
Well, one reads (input) and one writes (output) and since getResourceAsStream
returns an InputStream
it does not make sense to pass it into a Writer
because you cannot write to an InputStream
, you can only read from it.
