How to prevent file overwriting in processing?

Question

i am working on this arduino project using processing. There are some sensor values which should be logged, but unfortunately my processing code rewrites the file after each cycle so that i get the last sensor value only. How do i prevent this from happening? I am using the ordinary method by the way. PrintWriter command followed by createWriter

Answer 1

PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream( new File("persons.txt"), true /* append = true */));

The true is the append mode flag. Also check if you're using

pw.append(p.toString()); pw.append("sdf");
