Hi I'm using the below method to write to a file from the Jtextarea and I call this method every 30 second within a Timer but instead to add only new line in file it rewrite the entire lines contained in Jtextarea so then I have duplicate lines. I want to avoid this and update the file just with new lines. Could you help me please.

public void loger() {

    FileWriter writer = null;

    try {
        writer = new FileWriter("MBM_Log_"+date()+".txt" , true);
        textArea.write(writer);

        } catch (IOException exception) {
        System.err.println("log error");
        exception.printStackTrace();

        } finally {
        if (writer != null) {
            try {
                writer.close();
                } catch (IOException exception) {
                System.err.println("Error closing writer");
                exception.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

    }

  }
