Thread: Only outputting to the Output file once

Hi,

I'm currently having a problem with my code... I am trying to output to a file numerous transactions that have took place.

if (userInput == 1)
					{
						System.out.println("The current account balance is: £" + accountBalance + "0" + "\n");
						System.out.println("Please enter the amount you would like to transfer");
						transferOut = console.nextDouble();
						while (transferOut > accountBalance)
						{
							System.out.println("The maximum amount you can transfer is: £" + accountBalance + "0");
							System.out.println("Please enter another amount.");
							transferOut = console.nextDouble();
						}
						accountBalance = accountBalance - transferOut;
						transactionNumber = transactionNumber + 1;
						System.out.println("The remaining balance in your account is: £" + accountBalance + "0");
						Date date = new Date();
						outFile.println("Transaction Number " + transactionNumber + " took place on" + " " + date + " " + "with £" + transferOut + "0" + " being transferred out of the account.");
						PrintWriter updateBalance = new PrintWriter("shop-account.txt");
						updateBalance.println(accountBalance);
						updateBalance.close();	
						outFile.close();
					}

The 'outFile' is the output file described above. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

If you want to write many transaction in single file by multiple call then open that file in append mode.

PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("outfilename", true)));
