Need some help with output to file

[Jere Johnson]

Thanks Joel for the last question answered. But I've got one more question for you gurus. How can i output these letters to a file? I tried to code this below, but i get an error that states
"cannot resolve symbol" for outFile.print(alphabet [i]);

 
This java application will fill an array with randomly
 * chosen uppercase letters of the alphabet. Program will write letters
 * to a file and display them.
 */
package myprojects.assignment9;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

class Assignment9 extends Frame implements ActionListener{

private Button writeButton;
private PrintWriter outFile;

public Assignment9() {
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
dispose();
System.exit(0);
}
});
}



public static void main  (String args[]) 
{
System.out.println("Starting Assignment 9...");
Assignment9 mainFrame = new Assignment9();
mainFrame.setSize(400, 400);
mainFrame.setTitle("Assignment 9");
mainFrame.makeGui();
mainFrame.setVisible(true);



int i=0; // index variable
char character; 
char [] alphabet = new char [26];

for (i=0; i<alphabet.length; i++){
character = (char)(Math.random()*26+65);
alphabet [i] = character;
System.out.println (alphabet [i]);}
}

public void makeGui () 
{
writeButton = new Button ("write to file");
add ("South", writeButton);
writeButton.addActionListener(this);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) 
{
if (evt.getSource () == writeButton) {
try{

outFile = new PrintWriter (new FileWriter("output.txt"), true);
outFile.print(alphabet [i]); // I am having the problem here, MUST BE BECAUSE IT DOESNT KNOW HOW TO FIND THE ARRAY. HOW CAN I CHANGE THIS
outFile.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("File Error: " + e.toString() );
System.exit(1);
}
}

}

} // end of program

hi

 
File outFile=new File("test.txt");
try
{
  FileWriter fw=new FileWriter(outFile);
}
catch(IOException ioE)
{
  ioE.printStackTrace();
}
PrintWriter pw=new PrintWriter(fw);
pw.print("//....something you want");
 

It can help you to create a text file to store something
Actually,you can store something in two type,one in character type,another in binary type.
The above one is character type that can be read.
If it is not clear,please reply again
