Example

The following example shows the usage of java.io.RandomAccessFile.write() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.io.*;

public class RandomAccessFileDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
   
      try {
         boolean b = true;
         
         // create a new RandomAccessFile with filename test
         RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile("c:/test.txt", "rw");

         // write a boolean
         raf.writeBoolean(false);

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

         // print the boolean
         System.out.println("" + raf.readBoolean());

         // write a boolean
         raf.writeBoolean(b);

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

         // print the boolean
         System.out.println("" + raf.readBoolean());
         
      } catch (IOException ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}

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 −

false
true
