    Label l3 = new Label(2, 0,s3);
    Wsheet.addCell(l3);
    copy.write();
    copy.close();
 }
}

I’m trying to learn how to read and write to the same Excel file.

I’m taking two strings from one file and putting in the other.

How to put the content into the same file?

I’m creating a new file and then I’m putting the contents.
How to read and write to the same text file?
How to overcome this problem?
