    <p>I used this code in a different application to write a name and highscore onto the file for my game. Now i'm using this code to get a name and password from a .DAT file and be able to add a new user and password. Here's the .DAT file.</p> <pre><code>michael123 speaker123 katherine123 motor123 username password </code></pre> <p>Here's the code. Reading the file works fine but writing to it does nothing at all and i'm unsure why.</p> <pre><code>InputStream file; BufferedReader fileStream; FileWriter fileWriter; BufferedWriter fileWrite; String temp = ""; int users = 0; public void readUserInfo() throws IOException { try { file = Board.class.getResourceAsStream("users.DAT"); fileStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(file)); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("File not found"); } for (int i = 0; i &lt; users; i++) { temp = fileStream.readLine(); Board.username[i] = temp.trim(); temp = fileStream.readLine(); Board.password[i] = temp.trim(); } //Close fileStream.close(); file.close(); } public void addUser() throws IOException { fileWriter = new FileWriter(Board.class.getResource("users.DAT").getFile(),true); fileWrite = new BufferedWriter(fileWriter); System.out.println("Users : " + users); //Skip already created users for (int i = 0; i &lt; users; i++) { fileWrite.newLine(); fileWrite.append(Board.username[i]); fileWrite.newLine(); fileWrite.append(Board.password[i]); } System.out.println("Adding" + Board.username[users] + " : " + Board.password[users]); //Add user fileWrite.newLine(); fileWrite.append(Board.username[users]); fileWrite.newLine(); fileWrite.append(Board.password[users]); //Close fileWrite.close(); System.out.println("Closed fileWrite"); } </code></pre> <p>I'm using netbeans. The file being read from is in the same package as all the other classes. </p>

    1. COIt seems to me like you are writing to the wrong file. Why are you accessing the read file from the classpath but the write file from the file system?

    2. COThey are both the same file anyway. Just something I forgot to change. They're now both from classpath.

    3. COPlease update your code and tell us from which directory you are running the application.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
