      try {
         int b1 = 15;
         int b2 = 20;
         // create a new RandomAccessFile with filename test
         RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile("c:/test.txt", "rw");

         // write an int
         raf.write(b1);

         // set the file pointer at 0 position
         raf.seek(0);

         // print the byte
         System.out.println("" + raf.readByte());

         // write an int
         raf.write(b2);

         // set the file pointer at position 1
         raf.seek(1);

         // print the byte
         System.out.println("" + raf.readByte());
      } catch (IOException ex) {

      }

   }
}

Assuming we have a text file c:/test.txt, which has the following content. This file will be used as an input for our example program:

ABCDE  

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:
