Save content of a text area

Question

Hi i'm really new to this world and i was just wondering on how i could save the content of my jTextArea1 that the next time i open my app, the words that i have typed will be in the text area and the text area won't be empty. What i mean is that i want the textarea to remember all content that is typed inside it because the next time i open the app the content will be inside it and the text area won't be empty. Thanks anyway.

Try something like this then to store in a text file:

PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("area1.txt")));
out.write( jTextArea1.getText() );
out.close();
