printing new line in file

[Amirtharaj Chinnaraj]

hi guys

i want to print a new line in a file whenever i need

this is my code

File f= new File("sqlscript.sql");
f.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream(f);
String s= new String("script file for inserting \n records);

byte[] b= s.getBytes();
fos.write(b);

i want to print this "script file for inserting" in first line

and second line records

looking for your replies

If you're writing a text file, you should generally use Readers and Writers to work with it, not Streams. If you wrap an OutputStreamWriter around the FileOutputStream, and then a BufferedWriter around the OutputStreamWriter, you can use the BufferedWriter.newLine method to start a new line in the file.

Note that the sequence of characters written by newLine is OS-dependent - it writes something different on Unix than on Windows.

And you can check the line separator that way :
System.getProperty("line.separator")

Sample code for what - wrapping a Writer around a Stream? That's just one line of code; it should not hard be hard to figure out. What do you have so far?

yes ulf i got it

File f= new File("sqlscript.sql");
f.createNewFile();
FileWriter fr= new FileWriter(f);
BufferedWriter outputB= new BufferedWriter(fr);

outputB.write("insert into table ");
outputB.newLine();
outputB.write("insert into table ");
outputB.close();
