  1. PO\n Not working when reading from File to List and then to output. Java
    text
    copied!<p>I have a minor problem, the <code>\n</code>'s in my file isn't working in my output I tried two methods:</p> <p><strong>PLEASE NOTE:</strong></p> <p>*The text in the file here is a much simplified example. That is why I do not just use the <code>output.append("\n\n");</code> in the second method. Also the <code>\n</code>s in the file are not always at the END of the line i.e. a line n the file could be <code>Stipulation 1.1\nUnder this Stipulation...etc</code>. *</p> <p><em>The <code>\n</code>'s in the file need to work. Also both <code>JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,rules);</code> and <code>System.out.println(rules);</code> give the same formatted output</em></p> <p><strong>Text in File:</strong></p> <pre><code>A\n B\n C\n D\n </code></pre> <p><strong>Method 1:</strong></p> <pre><code> private static void setGameRules(File f) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException { rules = Files.readAllLines(f.toPath(), Charset.defaultCharset()); JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,rules); } </code></pre> <p><strong>Output 1:</strong></p> <pre><code>A\nB\nC\nD\n </code></pre> <hr> <hr> <p><strong>Method 2:</strong></p> <pre><code> private static void setGameRules(File f) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException { rules = Files.readAllLines(f.toPath(), Charset.defaultCharset()); StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder(); for (String s : rules) { output.append(s); output.append("\n\n");//these \n work but the ones in my file do not } System.out.println(output); } </code></pre> <p><strong>Output 2:</strong></p> <pre><code>A\n B\n C\n D\n </code></pre>
