line break in seuqential file

[p1kn1c]

I have a class with 4 objects and i want to write them to a sequental file.

The class has a toString method which returns this

return givenName +"\n"+ department +"\n"+ anualSalary +"\n"+ hireDate;

Now if im juts outputting that out into jav it does what i want which is

givenName
department
anualSalary
hireDate

all on seperate lines

Yet when i output to a sequential file it doesnt recognize the "\n"

and prints it all on one line

How do i get it so it will output to the file just like it prints in java?

Try "\r\n"

You can also use System.getProperty("line.separator") to do it in a system independent sort of way.
