Thread: [Fundemental]A sample code that creates a directory, file and saves data to the file

i worte this code about a month ago, it creates a directory or file and then saves data to it, it just makes ur life easier instead of doing it manually, i cheacked this code earlier today it seems fine.

I am giving you 100% permission to use this code, if you wish to post it somewhere else be my guest, but i would like credits.

Code:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

//	A sample code that creates a directory, a file and saves data to the file.
//	There is plenty of room for improvement but i don't have a lot of time at the moment..
// *update* the application does now write more than one line in the textfile and ends when the user types "stop".

//   This software was developed using Eclipse and Java 1.6

		System.out.println("Type \"stop\" to stop the application.");
		System.out.print("Type text: ");
		try {
			s = br.readLine();			//reads a line at the time.. look how to read more at once.. *update* works now

//			add data to file		
			FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(sDir + "\\File.txt");
			BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);

			while (!s.equals("stop")){
				s  = br.readLine();
				if (!s.equals("stop")) // do not write stop into the textfile
					bw.write(s); //write user typed data
					bw.newLine();
