you can simply write to a file with java.io.FileWriter
FileWriter writer = null;
String text = "username";
try{
writer = new FileWriter("banned.txt", true);
writer.write("\r\n");
writer.write(text,0,text.length());
}catch(IOException ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}finally{
if(writer != null){
writer.close();
}
}
The above code allows you to add a line in a file.
To read the file, you can do like this (java.io.BufferedReader
):
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("banned.txt"));
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
// check the username here
}
