Hi, I wanna do an applet that write text information in a log file, but when the file don't exists, I need generate an exception because is needed write some data in the top of file.

1. string patch = "c:/logs/logs.log";
   
2. FileWriter file;
3. PrintWriter output;
4. 
   
5. try  
6.  {
   
7.     file = new FileWriter(patch, true); //bool tells to append
   
8.     file.write("\n");
   
9.     println("exist");
   
10.     file.close();
    
11.   } 
    
12. 
    
13.   catch(Exception e) 
    
14.   {
    
15.     output = createWriter(caminho);
    
16.     output.close();
    
17.     println("except");
    
18.     try
    
19.     {       
    
20.       file = new FileWriter(caminho, true); //bool tells to append
    
21.       file.write("Some data");
22.       file.close();     
    
23.     }
24. 
    
25.     catch(Exception e2)
    
26.     {
    
27.       e.printStackTrace();
    
28.       println();
    
29.       e2.printStackTrace();
    
30.     }
    
31.   }

This only works when the patch "c:/logs" don't exists, and I need this works when the patch exists, but not the file "logs.log"

Can somebody help me?
