ObjectOutputStream Class writeChars() method

  • writeChars() method is available in java.io package.
  • writeChars() method is used to write the given string as a chain of characters.
  • writeChars() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
  • writeChars() method may throw an exception at the time of writing characters.
    IOException: This exception may throw when getting any input/output error while writing to the output stream.

Syntax:

    public void writeChars(String s);

Parameter(s):

  • String s – represents a String to be written.

Return value:

The return type of the method is void, it returns nothing.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of void writeChars(String s) method of
// ObjectOutputStream

import java.io.*;

public class WriteCharsOfOOS {
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
  // Instantiates ObjectOutputStream , ObjectInputStream 
  // FileInputStream and FileOutputStream
  FileOutputStream file_out_stm = new FileOutputStream("D:\\includehelp.txt");
  ObjectOutputStream obj_out_stm = new ObjectOutputStream(file_out_stm);
  FileInputStream file_in_stm = new FileInputStream("D:\\includehelp.txt");
  ObjectInputStream obj_in_stm = new ObjectInputStream(file_in_stm);

  // By using writeChars() method is to
  // write the chars to the stream		
  obj_out_stm.writeChars("Java");

  obj_out_stm.flush();

  // By using readChar() method is to 
  // read the char 
  for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
   char ch = obj_in_stm.readChar();
   System.out.println("obj_in_stm.readChar(): " + ch);
  }

  // By using close() method is to 
  // close all the streams 
  System.out.println("Stream Shutdown... ");

  file_in_stm.close();
  file_out_stm.close();
  obj_in_stm.close();
  obj_out_stm.close();
 }
}

Output

obj_in_stm.readChar(): J
obj_in_stm.readChar(): a
obj_in_stm.readChar(): v
obj_in_stm.readChar(): a
Stream Shutdown...
