How to append a newline to StringBuilder

Question

I have a StringBuilder object,

StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
result.append(someChar);

Now I want to append a newline characte

Answer 1

It should be

r.append("\n");

But I recommend you to do as below,

r.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));

System.getProperty("line.separator") gives you system-dependent newline in java. Also from Java 7 there's a method that returns the value directly: System.lineSeparator()
