CMP File I/O Amanuensis

This Applet will help you write Java code. Instead of memorising the dozens of I/O classes and methods, just select what you want to do, and let the amanuensis generate the code, the paste it into your source. Please pass on bugs and suggestions for improvement. The code is messy, but this just reflects the chaos in Sun's design of java.io. It is a bit like doing jig-saw puzzles trying to find ways to fit the classes together. The asymmetry is astounding.

The File I/O Amanuensis does not yet give you any help with the Java 1.4.1 javax.imageio.ImageIO class or the java.nio classes: Buffer, ByteBuffer, ByteOrder, CharBuffer, DoubleBuffer, FloatBuffer, IntBuffer, LongBuffer, MappedByteBuffer or ShortBuffer.

Binary is a compact, machine-friendly, human-unintelligible format. For human readable i/o, Java works with Strings of characters. You separately convert these to and from internal binary format e.g. int. See the conversion Amanuensis for how.
