File Handling In Java

File Handling and Saving Score

The following code is used to save the players score to the same folder as the eclipse project called "Scores.txt"

if(UserInput.equals("SAVE")){
    FileOutputStream out; // declare a file output object
                PrintStream p; // declare a print stream object
                try
                {
                        // Create a new file output stream
                        // connected to "myfile.txt"
                        out = new FileOutputStream("Scores.txt");
                        // Connect print stream to the output stream
                        p = new PrintStream( out );
 
                        p.println ("Name: " + PName + " Score: " + PScore);
                        p.close();
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                        System.err.println ("Error writing to file");
                }
