I have a GUI that allows a user to specify a filename for a .csv file that is going to be written and I want to build a jar file from the source code. However, when I run the .jar file and specify the name of the file (in the GUI) to be written, the output file is not written. Anyone know what I am doing incorrectly here? It's been a while since I've done file output with .jar.

Are you specifying a path or just a filename? It sounds like you're trying to write to the jar.

Just a filename. Let's assume that upon running the jar, it should write a .csv file. Do I need to specify a full path for the jar to write to?

do a sysout on the absolute path of the file object.

Ah, I got it. Thanks Detty.
