I can give you some code, to the best of my ability -- I am at home remebering
this. But if you are using a servlet, then the servlet will be in memory when you
are changing the text file, and the changes won't take effect until you restart
the server. If that is the case, you might want to code it into the servlet.
However, you are closer to the problem then I.
[OUTPUT]
FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream("FILEPATH");
PrintStream out = new PrintStream(f);
The input version is very similar and starts with:
FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream("FILEPATH");
[something] in = new [something(f)];
Sorry it is so scetchy,
