[Java] PrintWriter println question

[Ryan Marcus]

I have named a PrintWriter pOut...

If I do this:

Code Select Expand


pOut.println("Test");


Will it print Test, Test + chr(13), Test + chr(10), or Test + chr(13) + chr(10)?

To be technical it will print "Test\n" which equates to string: Test + New Line(Line Feed).

Java is a cross platform language so the New Line literal is dependent upon the platform it is being executed on.

Ok, so just to make sure:

Mac: chr(13)
Linux: chr(10)
PC: chr(13) + chr(10)

Right?

Why do you need to know this? If you are trying to detect the new lines you can just compare it to it's character literal '\n'.

I believe you are correct, though I do not know what they are for Mac or *nix.
