Answer 1

Solution:

in WINDOWS you should write "\r\n" for a new line.

Answer 2

the other answers should work. however I wanna mention

from java doc:

FileWriter is meant for writing streams of characters. For writing streams of raw bytes, consider using a FileOutputStream.

reading your method codes, you are about to write String to the file, what you were doing is convert String to raw bytes, then write so I think using FileWriter is not a bad idea.

And for the newline problem, Writer has method .write(String), which is convenient to use.

Answer 3

just use \r\n for endline if you are using windows operating system.
