How to create .txt folder?

Hello, I'm wondering how I create a messages.txt inside my folder. this is what I tried but didn't work, even though someone told me it would ;3

Code:java

File text = new File(plugin.getDataFolder() + File.separator + "messages.txt");

Please help me

 

text.createNewFile(); And here is a tutorial on how to read and write to it: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/read-write-to-a-file-without-snakeyaml.324796/

 

I would take a look at this: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/io/file.html

Code:java

try {
  if(!(text.exists())){
      text.createNewFile();
  }
} catch(Exception e){
  e.printStackTrace();
}
 

 

Skionz Shameless self plug, eh?

BeastCraft3 As above, you should look over the Oracle tutorials - it'd also be good to look at the Javadocs for the class in question when wondering this sort of thing

Thanks for the help !
I found it out, I'm going to post it here for the other players who need help with this:

Code:java

public void onEnable() {
        File dataFolder = getDataFolder();
        if(!dataFolder.exists())
        {
        dataFolder.mkdir();
        }
        File saveTo = new File(getDataFolder(), "messages.txt");
        if(!saveTo.exists())
        {
        try {
        saveTo.createNewFile();
        } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        }
        }
    }

 

BeastCraft3 It's a little bit unfortunately that there is no "You are the best for the community" button is!

Because you BeastCraft3, You are a dominating helper!

 

BeastCraft3 File#mkdirs() is better than File#mkdir() as mkdirs() makes all the directories in between that haven't been created yet.

That's actually not going to happen

 

xTrollxDudex What do you mean? In this context, yes since all the folders leading up to the top directory have been created. I've just gotten into the habit of using mkdirs().
