Print in new line, java

Question

Hi,

I have following code :

    System.out.println(" | 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9");
    System.out.println("----------------------------");
    System.out.println("");

I use println to create a new line. Is it possible to do the same using \n or \r? I tried to add \n to the second println statment and continue printing with the print method but \n does not create a new line.

any ideas?

Answer 1

Can you use \r\n together to achieve this.

Answer 2

It does create a new line. Try:

System.out.println("---\n###");

Answer 3

You might try adding \r\n instead of just \n. Depending on your operating system and how you are viewing the output, it might matter.

Answer 4

Your best shot would be with

String.format("%n")

or

System.out.printf("%n");

It is supposed to print a newline character, depending on the current platform, so is perfect for the console. If you are printing to a file, then it depends.

Answer 5

    String newLine = System.getProperty("line.separator");//This will retrieve line separator dependent on OS.

    System.out.println("line 1" + newLine + "line2");
