OutputStreamWriter is always run with WRITE operation

[danielGz]

OutputStreamWriter is always run with WRITE option so the file content gets replaced everytime.

Any fix for this?
CsvWriter should provide option for amend and create new file

I will consider this as part of an API overhaul. But for now, you could simply to this to append to a file:

File file = new File("/tmp/foo");

CsvWriter csvWriter = new CsvWriter();
try (CsvAppender append = csvWriter.append(new FileWriter(file, true))) {
    append.appendLine("a", "b");
}

Thanks for the reply & the workaround. But, the name method name 'append' is bit confusing.
Any plan to work on it?
The writer should provide method for creating new file & appending to existing file.

+1 the method name is really confusing could you please rename the append method and provide a proper append method with the workaround you provided on master branch? I guess a lot of API users will lose some time on this.

Will be handled in 2.0 - see
