I have coded the following FileWriter
:
try {
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(new File("file.txt"), false);
String sizeX = jTextField1.getText();
String sizeY = jTextField2.getText();
writer.write(sizeX);
writer.write(sizeY);
writer.flush();
writer.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {}
Now I want to insert a new line, just like you would do it with \n
normally, but it doesn't seem to work.
What can be done to solve this?
Thank you.
If you want to get new line characters used in current OS like \r\n
for Windows, you can get them by
System.getProperty("line.separator");
System.lineSeparator()
String.format("%n");
You can also use PrintStream
and its println
method which will add OS dependent line separator at the end of your string automatically
PrintStream fileStream = new PrintStream(new File("file.txt"));
fileStream.println("your data");
// ^^^^^^^ will add OS line separator after data
(BTW System.out
is also instance of PrintStream).
