FileWriter in java not writing to txt file [duplicate]

Answer 1

The Java 7 version with the try() closing automatically.

try (BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(
        new FileWriter("/Users/AlecStanton/Desktop/name.txt"))) {
    out.write(playername);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Mind the left-out / after .txt.
