Date: 2012nov22 Language: Scala Q. Scala: write to a file with Scala A. From my reading it seems that the Scala IO package is fine for input but not mature for output. So I use the Java classes for output. Here's a example:

def scalaWriteExample(outfilename: String): Boolean = { var writer:OutputStreamWriter = null try { val out = new FileOutputStream(new File(outfilename)) writer = new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8") } catch { case e: Exception => return false } writer.write("Something\n"); writer.close() return true }
