I don't find the mistake :(

Question

i simply don't find the mistake in that code. it's supposed to browse through a folder you specify and then print out all the files, folders (+ the files in there etc.) into a text file (txt or doc). the output in the eclipse console is correct, but the output to the file is not. if i want to write it to a file (txt or doc) it only browses/writes the top level files and folders. contents of subfolders are not witten into the file? so apparently the recursion doesn't work when i write into a file. but why is that?! below my code...
void browseFolder(String s){
          File destination = new File(s);
          String entries[] = destination.list();
          int i=0;
          try{
               File textfile = new File(s+"/file.doc");
               FileWriter writefile = new FileWriter(textfile);
               BufferedWriter textbuffer = new BufferedWriter(writefile);
               if (destination.isDirectory()){     
                    while (i<entries.length){
                         File destinationUnterfile = new File(s+"/"+entries);
                         if (destinationUnterfile.isDirectory()){
                              //to file
                              textbuffer.write(s+"/"+entries[i]);
                              textbuffer.newLine();
                              textbuffer.write("--------------------------------------");
                              textbuffer.newLine();
                              textbuffer.newLine();
                              //to console
                              System.out.println(" ");
                              System.out.println(" ");
                              System.out.println(s+"/"+entries[i]);
                              System.out.println("--------------------------------------");
                              browseFolder(s+"/"+entries[i]);
                         }else{
                              //to file
                              textbuffer.write("- "+entries[i]);
                              textbuffer.newLine();
                              textbuffer.newLine();
                              //to console
                              System.out.println("- "+entries[i]);
                         }//end if/else
                         i++;
                    }//end while
                    textbuffer.close();
               }else{
                    System.out.println("Please specify a folder to browse.");
               }//end if/else
          }//end try
          catch (IOException e){
               System.out.println("Error -- " + e.toString());
          }//end catch
     }//end browseFolder

Answer 1

hm, does it work if i insert a timestamp into the filename? if tried it like that, but it still doesn't work!
void browseFolder(String s){
          File destination = new File(s);
          String entries[] = destination.list();
          int i=0;
          try{
               Date dt = new Date();
               File textfile = new File(s+"\\file"+dt.getTime()+".doc");
               System.out.println(s+"\\file"+dt.getTime()+".doc");
               FileWriter writefile = new FileWriter(textfile);
               BufferedWriter textbuffer = new BufferedWriter(writefile);
               if (destination.isDirectory()){     
                    while (i<entries.length){
                         //File destinationUnterfile = s+entries;
                         File destinationUnterfile = new File(s+"\\"+entries[i]);
                         if (destinationUnterfile.isDirectory()){
                              //to file
                              textbuffer.write(s+"\\"+entries[i]);
                              textbuffer.newLine();
                              textbuffer.write("--------------------------------------");
                              textbuffer.newLine();
                              textbuffer.newLine();
                              //to console
                              System.out.println(" ");
                              System.out.println(" ");
                              System.out.println(s+"\\"+entries[i]);
                              System.out.println("--------------------------------------");
                              System.out.println(s+"\\"+entries[i]);
                              browseFolder(s+"\\"+entries[i]);
                         }else{
                              //to file
                              textbuffer.write("- "+entries[i]);
                              textbuffer.newLine();
                              textbuffer.newLine();
                              //to console
                              System.out.println("- "+entries[i]);
                         }//end if/else
                         i++;
                    }//end while
                    textbuffer.close();
               }else{
                    System.out.println("Please specify a folder to browse.");
               }//end if/else
          }//end try
