Problem with trying to write to a text file.

When i use this code it writes the information like it should but dosent save that information in a way. So for example when i join the server it writes my name and time in the text document correctly but when i rejoin it just replaces it with the new time "im sure it replaces the whole text but my name stays the same". I tried adding a " "/n" " inside where it says what should be printed on the end to try to add a new line but it still seems to just write on the first line.

public class MyPlayerListener extends PlayerListener {
@Override
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();
try {
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("Logged Players.txt"));
String strDateFormat = "HH:mm:ss a";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(strDateFormat);
Date date = new Date();
out.write(player.getName() + " " + sdf.format(date) + "\n");
out.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}

 

What's happening is that every time you write to the file, you overwrite it with a new file. What you need to do is:

Code:

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

Note the second argument to the FileWriter constructor, "true". This is an optional append flag which when set to true will append to a file instead of overwriting it. Adding that argument should fix your problem.

 

You should put a newLine in there too, or else the file will be very messed up..
Like this:

Code:java

 
out.write(player.getName() + " " + sdf.format(date) + "\n");
out.newLine();
 	    out.close();
