Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.io.BufferedWriter.append(CharSequence csq, int start, int end) method

public Writer append(CharSequence csq, int start, int end) 

Parameters

• csq − It is the character sequence to append.

• start − The index of the first character of the subsequence.

• end − The index of the next character following the end character of the subsequence.

Example

The following example shows the usage of java.io.BufferedWriter.append(CharSequence csq, int start, int end) method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.StringWriter;

public class BufferedWriterDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
      
      StringWriter sw = null;
      BufferedWriter bw = null;
      
      CharSequence csq = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
      
      try{
         // create string writer
         sw = new StringWriter();
         
         //create buffered writer
         bw = new BufferedWriter(sw);
         
         // append subsequence of character sequence.
         bw.append(csq, 5, 11);
         bw.append(" ");
         bw.append(csq, 3, 7);
         bw.append(" ");
         bw.append(csq, 2, 8);
         
         // forces out the characters to string writer
         bw.flush();
         
         // string buffer is created
         StringBuffer sb = sw.getBuffer();
         
         //prints the string
         System.out.println(sb);
            
      }catch(IOException e){
         // if I/O error occurs
         e.printStackTrace();
      }finally{
         // releases any system resources associated with the stream
         if(sw!=null)
            sw.close();
         if(bw!=null)
            bw.close();
      }
   }
}
