Saving To A New Line Using A Text File

can anyone tell me why my text is not saving to new line, it just appends at the end of the last text.

here's part of my code:

if(event.getSource() == signupButton) {

try {

outFile1 = new PrintWriter ( new FileWriter("register.txt",true));
outFile1.print(usernameField.getText()+" ");
outFile1.print(password.getText() +"* ");
outFile1.flush();
outFile1.close();JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Data have been Saved");
usernameField.setText("");
password.setText("");

}

mmm, sorry but your question is very odd...

so which text does append at the end of which other text?

lets say I have a textfield, and I am saving to a text file, the text from the textfield will not save to a newline in the textfile but append at the end of the existing text.

hope thats clear

After adding a text line to the file, add a new line there as well.

Can you show your code which can see what exactly going on your code. That above part not make a clear sense.

There's a difference between print(...) and println(...)

If this is the code which is writing to the file, besides of println, you can also just write something like:

Code:

---

outFile1.print(usernameField.getText()+" " + "\n");

---

This will add the new line at the end of the line.

Now why would one want to do that? And why the space between the end of the text and the newline? And even if that had been necessary, why two concatenations where one would suffice?

I'm sorry, but your 'suggestion' is exceedingly poor code.

Why don't you workout with Darryl.Burkes' suggestion. As he says you have done very poor thing in your code.

Thanks for nothing, the code does exactly what my code did, what I have noticed in this forum is that everyone seems to not know much about java and its suppose to be ADVANCE and comments on why was my text and new line is separated how sad db COME ON. This is the last of me using this forum.

No one wants to comments on you as well lol. What db is suggest you is the way you have to take. Reason is that comment on you is he(me too) cannot is any attempt you have take on in your code.

It's upto you. If you think members in our forum doesn't have much knowledge on Java, and you feel that no one here help you in the future, just left our community. Anyone cannot ask to stay here. Good luck!

Your question was not clear. From what folks guessed you were asking, it does not belong in the Advanced section.

There are quite a few folks here who are knowledgeable about Java, but we can't read your mind.

More importantly, with your lack of communication skills, and lack of social skills, I sure will not miss you.
