How to overwrite file via java nio writer?
You want to call the method without any OpenOption arguments.
Files.write(path, content.getBytes());From the Javadoc:
The options parameter specifies how the the file is created or opened. If no options are present then this method works as if the
CREATE,TRUNCATE_EXISTING, andWRITEoptions are present. In other words, it opens the file for writing, creating the file if it doesn't exist, or initially truncating an existing regular-file to a size of0
You want to use both StandardOpenOption.TRUNCATE_EXISTING and StandardOpenOption.CREATE options together:
Files.write(path, content.getBytes(), StandardOpenOption.CREATE, StandardOpenOption.TRUNCATE_EXISTING );
