ible with Iterable and the cast is needed? At last, question C: Given all those premises, is there a specific reason for which Files.write() hasn't been overloaded with a version capable of accepting a Stream? It would have been the perfect complement of Files.lines() Thanks. -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect @ Tidalwave s.a.s. "We make Java work.
