The stream needs to be flushed. (Often true of output streams in general.) This can be done several ways:
  • When done writing, call flush() method on outermost stream - PrintWriter in this case. It will in turn recursively flush any inner streams - FileWriter in this case.
  • When done writing, call close() method on outermost stream (PrintWriter), which will in turn call flush() for you.
  • When you first create the PrintWriter, use the constructor new PrintWriter(fw1, true). This sets "autoflush" mode to "on", and you no longer have to worry about it. Unfortunately it only works for PrintWriters, so you need to know the other methods as well.
