[SOLVED] Need help formatting File Output

[aaroncarpet]

I am using java.io.FileWriter to save the program data....
It doesn't see the'\n'....just writes in big long lines. I should know the answer to this, but could anyone refresh me on how to get carraige returns in my output using FileWriter or another class?


I found the answer in my book PrintWriter....is the class sorry

Wrap your FileWriter in a PrintWriter and you can use more convenient methods such as print() and println().
