    Default Append a single text file on button click through jTextField [a complete form]

    Hi guys,
    I am stuck badly as I am using java.nio the new java Input Output file system packages. I just wanted to implement simple coding that will append my text file. Below is the code,
    private void btnSaveEmailActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                             
            // TODO add your handling code here:
            try {
                x = new Formatter("Clients.txt");
     
                //Creates a new file by using Formatter class
     
            } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(USF_JFrame.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            }
     
            Integer tokNo=Integer.parseInt(txtTokenNo.getText());  //calls getText method to get the text from the txtTokenNo textbox
     
     
            x.format("%-25s %-20d \n" + System.getProperty("line.separator"),"Token No: ",tokNo);  //puts the formatted text in the created text file
            Integer EmpId=Integer.parseInt(txtEmployeeID.getText()); //calls getText method to get the text from the txtEmployeeID textbox
     
     
            x.format("\n%-25s %-20d \n" + System.getProperty("line.separator"),"Employee id: ",EmpId); //puts the formatted text in the created text file
            Date getTrnDate=jDateChooser.getDate(); //calls getText method to get the text from the txtTranDate textbox
            String trnDate=String.format("%1$td-%1$tm-%1$tY",getTrnDate);

    I want to use the java version 7 File system like

    BufferedWriter writer =   
        Files.newBufferedWriter( path, Charset.defaultCharset(),  
                                                      StandardOpenOption.CREATE); 
    writer.write(content, 0, content.length());

    I really don't have any clue how?

    Please help

    Dear Norm. There is no error but the text file is not appending. I want to append the same file on each and every click button.

    Can you make a small complete program that compiles, executes and shows the problem?

    the text file is not appending
    Can you explain what the program does when it executes?
    Does it create a new file?
    Does it replace an existing file?
    What data i written to the file?
    Is the correct data written to the file?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Does the program do what you want now?
    If not, please explain.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    how can i arrange this code in my programme code
    If you now know how to create a file or open a file and append records to the file, you need to copy the logic to your other program.
    Open the file in append mode before you want to write to it,
    write to it when you have the data to be written and
    close the file when you are done writing to the file.

    Can you find those places in the code to do each of those things?

    Note: The code should NOT have all statements starting in the first column.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    how can i input multile variables in string?
    Are you asking how to save multiple Strings in a single variable?
    You could read the Strings into an ArrayList.

    Several ways:
    Use an ArrayList to hold the Strings
    Use an array to hold the Strings
    Define a custom class that can contain multiple Strings
    Put all the Strings in one String with a special character separating them.
