Hello to all,
I have managed to write to a file but is keeps writing on the same line.
I’ve tried «\n" but the .txt file recognizes it as a character.
any ideas?
thank you

Print the following to the file stream.

System.getProperty("line.separator");

public static boolean saveStringToFile(String fileName, String saveString)
	{
		boolean saved = false;
		BufferedWriter bw = null;
 
		try 
		{
			// bw   = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName)));
			bw= new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
			try
			{
					//bw.println();
					bw.write(saveString);
					System.getProperty("line.separator");
					//bw.newLine();
					saved = true;	
			}//end of try
			finally
			{
				bw.close();
			}//end of finally			
		}//end of try
		catch (IOException ex)
		{
			ex.printStackTrace();
		}//end of catch
		return saved;
	}//end of saveStringToFile method

this is my code.
i tried the line.separator as well as .newlive() and both didn't work

If using the BufferedWriter class then the .newLine() function would work. However, i'm not to sure where you are specifying that there should be a new line printed. From my understanding you are passing a String of text (one line) to a function which then write that line to the file and then prints a new line.


Could you please give an example of inputs to the function and the desired output.

Well am using a queue simulation and I want to write every line of the queue
The code below shows more details

if(tillQueue.peek() == null)
   System.out.println(i+"\t"+"\t"+ getCurrentQLength()+"\t"+"Queue Empty"+"\t"+"Info Saved: "+saveStringToFile("Queue_Info.txt", tillQueue.toString()));
 
else
  System.out.println(i+"\t"+ "\t"+ getCurrentQLength()+ "\t"+tillQueue.toString()+"\t"+"Info Saved: "+saveStringToFile("Queue_Info.txt", tillQueue.toString()));

Try opening the file in append mode, new FileWriter(fileName, true); Also you will need to loop trhough each line of the Queue rather than just dumping it onto the saveStringToFile() function. But yes open in amend, print a line, print a blank line (bw.newLine()), close repeat.
