Reading and Writing a Properties File(From Sun)

Reading and Writing a Properties File


// Read properties file.

Properties properties = new Properties();
try {
     properties.load(new FileInputStream(
       "infilename"));
} catch (IOException e) {
}
     
// Write properties file.

try {
     properties.store(new FileOutputStream(
       "outfilename"), null);
} catch (IOException e) {
}


Here is an example of the contents of a properties file:
     # a comment
     ! a comment
     
     a = a string
     b = a string with escape sequences \t
              \n \r \\ \" \' \ (space) \u0123
     c = a string with a continuation line \
         contination line
     d.e.f = another string
