in java in my string.

any ideas?
the tab works "\t" though

\\n

4/10/2006 11:13:29 PM

^ sorta, but i don't want the "\n" to appear i want it to go to the next line

4/10/2006 11:18:21 PM

\n is for wimps. use ascii code

4/10/2006 11:23:17 PM

don't think it makes a difference as far as the spec goes, but what version of Java are you running? ('prompt% java -version' on the command line)

everything in quotes too?

this has to be operator error. and not the programming type of operator.

this is what happens when you get women programmers

use this to get the correct line separator:

String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");

System.out.println("");

Quote :

"String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");"

and this is why i hate java. Fifty-five characters to print a motherfkcin newline

since when do you have to initialize a newline for god's sake

you do it that way for platform portability, which is the major thing Java has going for it. Write once, run anywhere

\n on UNIX/Linux, \r\n on Windows, and \r on Mac

0x0A = carriage return
0x0D = line feed

a new line in windows is carriage return+line feed. in linux it's just line feed (a.k.a. EOL -- "end of line") and on an apple machine it's a carriage return. i think it's retarded but thats what it is.

'\n'

[Edited on April 11, 2006 at 7:24 PM. Reason : new line 'character']

4/11/2006 7:19:45 PM

\n is character 0x0D, which doesn't produce a new line on all platforms. see ^^^ and ^^.

\n has worked without issue for me in both lunix and windows

4/11/2006 8:25:21 PM

you should specify Win32

try opening text with \n as line seperator in Notepad.....not pretty.

4/11/2006 8:39:08 PM

then use wordpad

also, fuck platform portability.

cause everyone uses the same system

If you dont like it, dont use it

4/11/2006 10:52:55 PM

#ifdef WIN32
#define NEWLINE "\r\n"
#endif
#ifdef MAC
#define NEWLINE "\r"
#endif
#ifdef UNIX
#define NEWLINE "\n"
#endif

^ std::endl

"why are you using an embedded newline character in a string anyhow? bad form"

Not really.

Unless you are writing a file a user has to read, or a multiline error message (to the console) then it matters. Otherwise, as long as the '\n' is perfectly fine way to save out a newline.

4/11/2006 11:31:41 PM

why the fuck even bother with a newline if you're not writing a human readable file. and don't give me that delimiting shit - there are plenty of better options for that shit

| all the way!

Are you using this to display in a JTextField. If so, you can only display one line. Change the JTextField to a JTextArea, so you can display multiple lines.(especially if this is for csc116 lab 9).
