This is not a question about Java source code. This is a question about appending the result of running a Java program from command line with bash or cmd and appending its standard output to a text file.

It is possible to redirect the standard output to a text file. This is destructive and overwrites any previous file with the same name.

java HelloWorld > hello.txt

Is it possible to append the final result so that the contents of hello.txt are not overwritten every time the program is run?

I looked in man java and did not see anything there about appending.

Use `>>` instead of `>` – khelwood Oct 15 '18 at 15:28
This is determined by your shell. `>` and `>>` is not recognised by java. – Peter Lawrey Oct 15 '18 at 15:30
Thanks guys - the duplicate question by khelwood has the answer. – ThisClark Oct 15 '18 at 15:30
