    Default How do I copy a simple text-file to a new text-file?

    Hi.

    I'm trying to copy a simple text-file, to a new text-file, using BufferedReader and PrintWriter.

    Can anyone please show me the correct way to use these methods together, and how to run throgh the file correctly?

    Can I use both FileWriter and BefferedReader in the same try block? If so, how do I handle Exceptions?

    Thank you in advance!

    Any of the popular search engines will provide a wealth of code examples. What did you find?

    Again for proper use of the methods you should get in the habit of consulting the documentation and a search engine first.

    Try blocks can have multiple catch blocks.

    Try {
       somethingRisky();
       doSomethingElseRisky();
       doTheThirdRiskyActivity();
    }
    catch(theFirstRisk tfr) {
       reportOops();
    }
    catch(theSecondRisk tsr) {
       reportOops();
    }
    catch(theThirdRisk ttr) {
       reportOops();
    }

    Also see the try-with-resources and surrounding pages.
