Jumbled text using PrintWriter

Question

Hi,
I'm using an instance of PrintWriter to occassionally output text to a file, but the text ends up messy and jumbled up.
Not on character level but text is not appended in a synchronous way. Things I outputted earlier gets overwritten and text written just before program termination ends up at the beginning of the file etc. I use print(...) and have tried flushing after each call to print, to no avail.
I'm not using any threads and there's just one object accessing the text file...
Any ideas what's causing this?

Your best bet here is to show us your code. We don't want to see all of it, but rather you should condense your code into the smallest bit that still compiles, has no extra code that's not relevant to your problem, but still demonstrates your problem, in other words, an SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example). For more info on SSCCEs please look here:

Remember, the code must be compilable and runnable for us to be able to understand it fully.
Also, when posting your code, please use code tags so that your code will be well-formatted and readable. To do this, either use the "code" button at the top of the forum Message editor or place the tag [code] at the top of your block of code and the tag [/code] at the bottom, like so:
[code]
  // your code block goes here.
[/code]
