Java FileOutputStream Example

FileOutputStream creates an OutputStream that you can use to write bytes to a file.

FileOutputStream Class Example

The following example creates a sample buffer of bytes by first making a String and then using the getBytes( ) method to extract the byte array equivalent. It then creates three files. The first, file1.txt, will contain every other byte from the sample. The second, file2.txt, will contain the entire set of bytes. The third and last, file3.txt, will contain only the last quarter.

import java.io.IOException;
