Message:

Creating files from the stringBuffer

Posted by aaronG on May 22, 2001 at 5:53 AM

Im working on a client server program where in the server sends the name of a file to the client into a string buffer which is then used to create the file name but when I try to do it it only uses the first letter as the file name rather than the whole name

Code im using:
else { // this is the client which receives characters
StringBuffer receiveString = new StringBuffer();
int receiveChar;
System.out.print ("Characters received:");

do {
receiveString.append((char)comms.read ());
String fName = receiveString.toString();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fName);

Any help majorly appreciated
