New line character

[mew]

I am writing to a file using outputstream. What is the line feed character because I want to add line feed character into the file.

\n i think

\n \r try this also

Thanks but it does not work. It prints \n in the file.
Any other ideas?

Hey Mew,
Sounds like your system is using some other line separator...
Run this code:

System.Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.print(System.out);

then look at the output and see what the line.separator element looks like. That is the line separator on your system.

If you want to do this system independently, then you should call OutputStream.writelin() where ever you need a newline.

Don.
