I am outputting a lot of information to the console that is gathered across multiple nested calls. I would like to be able to print the information on the screen in a readable manner but the I can't seem to get the indentation right, without hardcoding the number the number of \ts.
Basically, how can I get my code to indent based on the indentation level of the previous line. If the previous line is indented with \t and I do "\n\t", after that, I would like the new line to indent with respect to the previous line. Meaning I expected to be like
String str = "original line (no indention)"
+ "\n"
+ "\t originally indented line"
+ "\n"
+ "\t the second indented line"
The output is
original line (no indention)
originally indented line
the second indented line
but I would like it to be
original line (no indention)
originally indented line
the second indented line
Please keep in mind that in my actual code each level of indention is a result of aggregation from a different file so it's hard to just know to indent twice on the second line. I need it to be able to indent simply based on the indentation of previous line so I don't have to hard code the levels of indentation.
Ended up, replacing every new line \n with \n\t during each iteration and that seemed to do the trick. Crazy how it was such a simple solution that I over looked.
