Thread: newLine isn't working

Hi, I'm encountering a slight problem where I'm getting an error for out.newLine();
Here is the error:

java.io.IOException: Stream closed

The line is, as I mentioned, out.newLine();

Here is some relevant code:

                          File rfile4 = new File(dir + "temp.txt");
		          FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(dir + "temp.txt",true);
		          BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(writer);
                          pointsfile = "";
                          while(linenum > 1)
                          {
                                  out.newLine();
			                                 out.write(pointsfile); 
			                                 out.close();
                          }

while(linenum > 1)
                          {
                                  out.newLine();
                                             out.write(pointsfile);
 
                          }
 out.close();

Wait...copeg already got there first.



Also, linenum I'm assuming means line number.
How about also adding a condition to tell it to exit the while loop when you reach a blank line? That way it won't go on forever.
