PrintWriter appending when I don't want it to

Question

Hi!
I am calling a function that looks something like this:
public void func() {
     PrintWriter outFile = null;
     try {
          outFile = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("test.txt"));
     } catch (IOException e){}
     for (int i=0; i<100; i++)
          outFile.println("test");
     outFile.close();
}The problem is that if I call the function twice, it will just appened new lines, so it will have 200 lines. The third time it will get 300 lines and so on. I just want the function to "clear" the file and start from the beginning each time I call it. How do I do that?
Thanks!

Thanks warnerja. You hit the nail on the head. I read your line, took myself 5 seconds to go and read something in the code, and I found the problem right away(I've also been taking a break, that might have helped some ;))
The above code was simplified. What I really did was to loop through a LinkedList for strings and printed it out. Problem was, that when I ran that code again, I added the exact same set of strings to the list. Doh!
Joachim, I did try the append, but it is defaulted to false so that didn't help anyway. But as stated above, it's solved :)
Thanks a ton guys/girls!
