Writing in a file class without overwriting the previous one

Question

I made a program that will save the NAME,POSITION and SALARY of a user.
ex.:
name: user1
postion: member
hrs/wrk: 20

Then I put another one:
name: user2
position: manager
hrs/wrk: 25

but when it displays the informations

if goes like this:
name: user2
position: manager
hrs/wrk: 25

name: user2 position: manager hrs/wrk: 25

I always get the last user input :( help me plz.. sorry for my english im from PH.

Answer 1

When you open a file using java.io.FileWriter, you can pass a second boolean argument to the constructor that indicates whether you want to append (true) or overwrite (false) existing data.

Example:

FileWriter r = new FileWriter("POSITION.TXT", true);

Answer 2

In your writeFile method you create a new FileWriter in a way that will overwrite the entire existing file.

Instead you need to create it in append mode.

FileWriter r = new FileWriter("POSITION.TXT", true);
