Ok i have some code which stores a subject, difficulty, correctAnswers, maxQuestions and date into a text file.
Now when i want this file to be read i can display all the information with no problem, but i want it so the newest date is a the top.
Heres my code to read the data:
try
{
FileReader fr = new FileReader (file);
BufferedReader inputFile = new BufferedReader(fr);
line = inputFile.readLine();
scorePanel.add(new JLabel(line));
System.out.println(line);
while (line != null)
{
line = inputFile.readLine();
scorePanel.add(new JLabel(line));
System.out.println(line);
}
inputFile.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException exception)
{
System.out.println("File not found");
}
catch (IOException exception)
{
System.out.println(exception);
}
Or is it possible that when you write to the text file you can put the new information above the old one? My current code to write to the file is:
try {
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("scores.dat", true));
PrintWriter outputFile = new PrintWriter(bw);
outputFile.print(subject + " " + difficulty + " " + correctAnswers + " " + maxQuestions+" "+ finalPercentage + "% "+ date);
outputFile.println();
outputFile.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
Hope this makes sense and thank you for any help :)
