There is an error in my code. Can you show me how to get rid of the Files.write

Question

There is an error in my code. Can you show me how to get rid of the Files.write error and can you write a code in the main method that will run the for and if statement. It has to be in the main method. I did not provide what listofnames.java is but it should not matter. I want the parameters to stay the exact same for Files.write.

package finder;

import java.nio.file.Path;

import java.nio.file.Paths;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.nio.charset.Charset;

import java.nio.file.Files;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import java.util.List;

public class location {

String find = "listofnames.java";  

Path pathOfFile = Paths.get(find);

public static void main(String[] args) {

}

private location (String [] args) {

try {

List<String> linesInFile = Files.readAllLines(pathOfFile,Charset.defaultCharset());

for (String i : linesInFile){   

if (args.length > 0) {   

find = args[0];

System.out.println(i);

}

}

}

catch (IOException e) {

System.out.println(e);

}

}

void writeToFile( Path toSearch, List<String> toWrite ) {

List <String> toOuttext = new ArrayList <String> ();

toOuttext.add ("Printing data");

try {

Files.write(find+".data", toOuttext,Charset.defaultCharset());

}

catch (IOException e) {

System.out.println(e);

}

}

}
