New Line character in JSTL c:set

Hi,
I want to append a new line character('\n') at the end of a string and then display it so that they come one below the other.
I tried something like this -
<c:set var="tempStr" scope="page" value="${someStr}\n" />
This is not working. Can somebody tell me the correct way of going about it.
Thanks in advance,
Sam.

You could try:
<c:set var="tempStr" scope="page" value="${someStr + '\n'}" />
EL will concatenate the String with the \n character.

Also, I hope you realize, HTML rendering ignores white space. If you output a new line character into html, the source gets the new line but, when rendered all white space gets mushed down to a single space.
If you want this rendered on a new line in html ouput, you need to put a <br> after it.

Hello,

Hello,
I would like to try new line in jstl run_time tag, but I get the following
errors

rg.apache.jasper.JasperException: /SimpleBean.jsp(11,0) "${header['User-Agent']+ '\n'}" contains invalid expression(s): javax.servlet.jsp.el.ELException: Encountered "'\n", expected one of [, , , "true", "false", "null", "(", "-", "not", "!", "empty", ]
And my code runs in jsp2.0
Any ideas?

Hi Chang,
Why dont you look at the suggestion by Carl and at the br tag in the end like the one given below

Hello,
I just want to try add a new ('\n') in JSTL.
Thank your suggestion.

In JSP 2.0: open string literal using " or ', press enter and close string literal :-)

For example:

${fn:replace(text, "
", "<br/>")}

There may be other ways to accomplish this, but here's a method that worked for me. Near the top of the page, I declared a variable holding the newline character:

I was then able to use this variable in an expression down in the "<pre>" block:

Hope this helps someone who stumbles across this page by using the same Google terms as I did.
