how to write the contents of the report to a text file

Hi all, 
 
I need to develop a report that should write its table content to a specified text file. 
 
for eg, 
 
I have created a file in the path "D:/filename.txt" 
 
to do this i have used following script in Initialize method: 
 
importPackage (Packages.java.io, Packages.java.text); 
fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream("D:/filename.txt"); 
printWriter = new java.io.PrintWriter( fos ); 
 
To write the table contents of the report into this file what i have to do? 
 
 
 
Please guide me to do this..

Are you wanting to know the script needed to write to the file? Or are you wanting to know where to put the write script at? If where, what are you trying to write out? Sections of a report or groups within a table? Or both? Let me know.
