print new line in files

[analoveu]

how can I print new line in a file using a reference to Formatter object

//create reference to file to read from
Scanner input=new Scanner(new File("d:\\records1.txt"));
 
//create reference to file to write
Formatter output=new Formatter("d:\\records7.txt");
 
while(input.hasNext()){
 
           output.format(input.nextLine());
           output.format();
}

what should I print in output.format() to promote the file to inter new line before printing the next line that it reads from input

You could do that a few different ways, either output.newLine(); or use '\n' the newline character.

no that is not allowed class Formatter dont include method newLine
so I can't use newLine() on Formatter object
an also when I wite
output.format("/n") it print /n in the file
if I print output.format(/n) also there is error

Your slash is pointed the wrong direction. Try "\n".

[lucky001]

you are suppose to write "\n" instead of writing "/n" or /n

e.g.

output.format("\n");


I hope this will work
