Below programs illustrate flush() method in BufferedWriter class in IO package:
Program 1:
// Java program to illustrate
// BufferedWriter flush() method
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws IOException
{
// Create the string Writer
StringWriter stringWriter
= new StringWriter();
// Convert stringWriter to
// bufferedWriter
BufferedWriter buffWriter
= new BufferedWriter(
stringWriter);
// Write "GEEKS" to buffer writer
buffWriter.write(
"GEEKSFORGEEKS", 0, 5);
// Flush the buffer writer
buffWriter.flush();
System.out.println(
stringWriter.getBuffer());
}
}
Output:
Program 2:
GEEKS
// Java program to illustrate
// BufferedWriter flush() method
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws IOException
{
// Create the string Writer
StringWriter stringWriter
= new StringWriter();
// Convert stringWriter to
// bufferedWriter
BufferedWriter buffWriter
= new BufferedWriter(
stringWriter);
// Write "GEEKS" to buffered writer
buffWriter.write(
"GEEKSFORGEEKS", 0, 5);
// Flush the buffered writer
buffWriter.flush();
System.out.println(
stringWriter.getBuffer());
// Write "GEEKSFORGEEKS"
// to buffered writer
buffWriter.write(
"GEEKSFORGEEKS", 5, 8);
// Flush the buffered writer
buffWriter.flush();
System.out.println(
stringWriter.getBuffer());
}
}
Output:
