Strings written to file do not preserve line breaks

Question

I am trying to write a String(lengthy but wrapped), which is from JTextArea. When the string printed to console, formatting is same as it was in

Answer 1

I just ran your program, and adding a carriage return (\r) before your newline (\n) did the trick for me.

If you want to get a system independent line separator, one can be found in the system propery line.separator

String separator = System.getProperty("line.separator");
String string = "This is lengthy string that contains many words. So" + separator
            + "I am wrapping it.";
