Question

This code:

PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(outputFile, false));
output.println("something\n");
output.println("something else\n");

Outputs:

something
something else

Instead of:

something

something else

I tried using “\r\n” instead of just “\n” but it just doesn’t work like how I want it to. How do I fix this?

P.S. I’m using windows 7

Your code works like a charm, just check the file with a proper programmers editor.
(or as I suggested before, take a look at an hex dump of the file)
