Im writing to a file but the first line of the file is always empty and im not sure why.

When writing to a file in Java, it is important to remember that the FileWriter class does not automatically add a newline character at the end of each line. This means that if you are using println() or similar methods to write lines to the file, you may end up with an extra empty line at the beginning.

To fix this issue, you can either use print() instead of println() to write to the file without adding a newline character, or manually add a newline character at the end of each line. Here is an example code snippet demonstrating both approaches:

import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            FileWriter writer = new FileWriter("file.txt");
            
            // Approach 1: Using print() method
            writer.print("First line\n");
            writer.println("Second line");
            
            // Approach 2: Manually adding newline character
            writer.write("\nThird line\n");
            
            writer.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

By following these tips and adjusting your writing logic accordingly, you should be able to avoid having an empty first line in your file.

could you provide the code for Embeddings class and embeddings variable?

that couldve the issue

also, wouldn't be better just using a FileWriter.write() to write the embeddings?

I was able to get it working thanks

[obtuse lance]

please at least handle the file correctly, use a try-with-resources
