Differences in Line Break Codes
The line break code can vary depending on the operating system.
| Windows | UNIX |
|---|---|
\r\n |
\n |
Examples
Line breaks can be achieved by directly including the line break code in the string.
String text = "Hello \r\nWorld";
System.out.println(text);
Hello
World
Example Absorbing Environmental Dependencies
Java offers a standard feature to obtain environment-independent line break codes.
By using System.getProperty("line.separator") as shown below, you can get the appropriate line break code for the execution environment.
public static final String LINE_SEPARATOR = System.getProperty("line.separator");
String test = "Hello" + LINE_SEPARATOR + "World";
System.out.println(test);
It's recommended to use System.getProperty("line.separator") for line breaks in Java.

also you can use System.lineSeperator() function directly.
