Form source :

OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
try {
IOUtils.write(data, out, encoding);
} finally {
IOUtils.closeQuietly(out);

As I mentioned in my original post...The JavaDoc for writeStringToFile()
says: "Writes a String to a file creating the file if it does not exist."
That seems to imply that directories would be created, if need be; however,
that is not happening. Is this a bug? Or does the documentation just need
to be clarified?
It does not say anything about directories having to exist; it says the file
will be created if it does not exist. Taking the JavaDoc comment as
literally as possible, if I have an existing directory structure like this:
/parentDirectory
and I call,
FileUtils.writeStringToFile( new File(
"/parentDirectory/childDirectory/grandChildDirectory", "myFile.txt" ), "Foo
bar", "UTF-8" );
I would think /parentDirectory/childDirectory/grandChildDirectory/myFile.txt
would get created. So, my original question still stands: Is this a bug or
an incomplete comment, in need of clarification?
Thanks.
