Question

I want to save a text in a text file and I need to save the \n character to delimit the elements in the text. The text is as follow:

“This is a java prog. and It saves text in a .txt file.

You can choose where it should be saved.”

How I can save \n (newline) in a .txt file?

The follow is the code segment I used to save text in text file:

FileOutputStream fout = null;

try {

    fout = new FileOutputStream(destinationFile);

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

    System.out.println("output File not found");
    return false;
}

Scanner sc = new Scanner(text);
while (sc.hasNext()) {
    fout.write((sc.next().getBytes()));
}

fout.close();

Answer 1

this should do the trick:

while (sc.hasNext()) {
  fout.write((sc.next().getBytes()));
  fout.write("\n".getBytes());
}

this will write the line you entered into the standard input, then write a newline, so that the file will be separated by newlines
