import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

public class TestWriter {   
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        PrintWriter pr =null;
        
        String heading = "Labelxxxx, Labelyyyy, Labelzzzzz ";
        
        String[] values = {"val1", "val2", "val3"};
        
        try 
        { 
          
           FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("c://test.txt", false);
           BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
           
           pr = new PrintWriter(bw); 
                 
           pr.println(heading);
           
           //to print values you can use for loops etc.
           for (int i = 1 ; i<=10; i++){
               for (int j = 0; j < values.length; j++) {
                   pr.print(values[j]);
                   if(j ==  (values.length-1)) {
                       pr.println(); // print new line character
                   }
                   else {
                       pr.print(","); 
                   }
               }
           }
              
        } catch (java.io.FileNotFoundException ex) { 
           System.out.println("File does not exist. "); 
        } catch (java.io.IOException ex) { 
           ex.printStackTrace(); 
        } 
        
        finally{
            pr.close();
        }

    }
