How to make a save button

I am trying to make a save button but I don't know how to do it. I will explain a little bit about my program. When someone start the program it shows a JOptionPane and the user need to write a nickname and then when he clicks on OK button it saves his nickname in a text.file. This is a part from my code.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;



public class SummerExamProject extends JFrame  {
   JButton Exit, About, Question1, Question2, Question3, Question4;
   JPanel panel, panel2, panel3, panel4 ;

   public  SummerExamProject(){
        initUI();

    }

public void  initUI(){

    setTitle("Java");
    setSize(500, 450);
    setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);


JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JFrame frame1 = new JFrame("");
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
getContentPane().add(panel);
panel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0,3,8,9));




String code = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(frame1, " Enter a nickname ", "Nickname needed", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);

PrintStream out = null;
    try {
        out = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("text.txt"));
        out.print(code);  // your String here
    } catch (IOException e) {
    } finally {
        if (out != null)
            out.close();
    }

text.txt can also be a full path like new FileOutputStream("D:/folder/text.txt") There are a few more options to write to files, though.

If you want to store nickname to file you can use PrintWriter. Lets say you saved the nickname in String variable called nickname:

String nickname = "myAwesomeNickname";

try {
    PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("c:/nicknames.txt", true)));
    out.println(nickname);
    out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
    //exception handling 
}
