of carriage returns & linefeeds !

:rolleyes:
hi folks,
i am usin filewriter to write text from a textfield to a file. after i save the file & open it in another editor, the cr&lf character appear as an unknown character in the file. can't file writer handle the cr & linefeed properly & what do i do to avoid this.
thanks for any views .

import java.io.*;
public class Cr{
public static void main(String[] args){
try{
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("temp"));
pw.println("Hello");
pw.println("Bye");
pw.close();
}catch(IOException ioe){
System.out.println(ioe);
}
}
}

Then check out file "temp". No funny characters.

You also may benefit from Buffering:
PrintWriter out
= new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("foo.out")));

see i m doin it like this :-

out=new FileWriter(file);
out.write(ta.getText());

so how can i send each line of the text box seperately? the question is that can't the filewriter handle the carriage returns occurring in the textfield's text?

this does it but is'nt this too heavy on the resources(4 new objects)

Code:

---

StringReader sr = new StringReader(ta.getText());            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(sr);
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("fubar.txt");         
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(fw);                           
String s = br.readLine();
 while(s != null)
{
 pw.println(s);
 s = br.readLine();
}                   
 br.close();       
 sr.close();

please tell me if there is any other way
