WriteUTF writing strange chars at the beginning?

Question

I have the following class, which requires a Filename and a String:
class Log {
     public void appendLog(String Filename, String appendText) throws IOException {
          FileOutputStream outFile = new FileOutputStream(Filename, true);
          DataOutputStream outData = new DataOutputStream(outFile);
          outData.writeUTF(appendText);
          outData.close();
But the output always begins with this:
�AR

I have the following class, which requires a Filename
and a String:
class Log {
public void appendLog(String Filename, String
appendText) throws IOException {
FileOutputStream outFile = new
w FileOutputStream(Filename, true);
DataOutputStream outData = new
w DataOutputStream(outFile);
          outData.writeUTF(appendText);
          outData.close();
But the output always begins with this:
�AR Try this...
class Log {
        public void appendLog(String Filename, String  appendText) throws IOException {
               PrintWriter out= new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(Filename,true)));
               out.write(appendText);
               out.close();
Hope it helped...
