Save contents of text area to file

[mark geroso]

Hi.
I have the following code:

   
else if (cmd.equals("Save")){
FileDialog fdsave = new FileDialog(this, "Save this file:", FileDialog.SAVE);
fdsave.setVisible(true);

try{
PrintWriter fw = new PrintWriter (new FileWriter(fdsave.getDirectory() + File.separator + fdsave.getFile()));
fileLoc.setText(fdsave.getDirectory() + File.separator + fdsave.getFile());

}catch(Exception ee){
System.out.println(ee.toString());
}//catch
}
 

Opening the save dialog works and I can save the file, but the file(s) I do save contain nothing...
What am I doing wrong?

I don't see any calls to fw to actually write anything to the file.

also check that you close the writer
