Question

I have a method in java which returns the updated lines of a flat file as a “String”. I am receiving the String as a bunch of lines, what i want to do is to separate the String line by line. How can i do that in java?????

Answer 1

I will suggest make use of system property line.separator for this splitting to make your code work on any platform eg: *nix, Windows, Mac etc. Consider code like this:

String str = "line1\nline2\nline3";
String eol = System.getProperty("line.separator");
System.out.printf("After Split - %s%n", Arrays.toString(str.split(eol)));
