Carriage Return Mark for JTextArea

[dhany]

Assume i have JTextArea contained With long Wraped Text, This texts are contained with some Paragraph, Also I have String variable to hold this JTextArea content gathered by getText(), but when i write this String to file and reopen it weird thing happen. the text has no paragraph, all wraped as if it has no Carriage Return mark. can anyone show the way to fix this ?

JTextArea myTextArea = new JTextArea();
String myString = myTextArea.getText();

Does the textarea wrap its contents without any lineend characters?
Does your textarea's contents have lineend characters in it that are not being returned by the getText() method?

all wraped as if it has no Carriage Return mark.

Do you mean that the text in the file was all on one line? IE no lineends.

yes it does have a method to make it content wraped

Does your textarea's contents have lineend characters in it that are not being returned by the getText() method?

String myString = jTextArea[0].getText()+jTextArea[1].getText()+jTextArea[2].getText();
//call my function to write into the file
writeMyFile(mystring)

but when i open this created file with notepad , its only has 1 very long line. aka no paragraph no new lines

what happens if you open the file in another editor? Not all editors process lineend/carriage return the same way.

In Notepad: Are there small squares where there would be lineend/carriage returns?
