   Same is true for the second sample code:

   Charset charset = Charset.forName("US-ASCII");
   File file = ...;
   String s = ...;
   BufferedWriter writer = null;
   try {
       writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(file, charset);
       writer.write(s, 0, s.length());
   } catch (IOException x) {
       System.err.format("IOException: %s%n", x);
   } finally {
       try{
           if (writer != null)
               writer.close();
       } catch (IOException x) {
           System.err.format("IOException: %s%n", x);
       }
   }
