Ascii character 129 for newline in the text file

Question

Hi there,
I have java program that makes JDBC connection and reads through a table, write a column in text file, after each column puts delimiter "|"and after each row prints in the next line.
This is the code below.
public void queryRecords() {
         Statement stmt           = null;
        ResultSet rset           = null;
        try {
              stmt = con.createStatement();
              int numRows = 0;
            File file           = new File("/tmp/temp.txt");
            FileWriter writer   = new FileWriter(file, false);
            BufferedWriter pw      = new BufferedWriter(writer);
            rset = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM mytable");
            ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rset.getMetaData();
            int colCount = rsmd.getColumnCount();
            while (rset.next()) {
                for (int i = 1;i <= colCount; i++) {
                    String st = rsmd.getColumnTypeName(i);
                    if (st.equals("DATE")) {
                        Date d1 = rset.getTimestamp(i);
                        pw.write(d1 + "|");
                    } else {
                        Object o1 = rset.getObject(i);
                        if (o1 != null) {
                            pw.write(o1 + DELIM);
                        } else {
                            pw.write(DELIM);
                pw.newLine();
            pw.close();
             rset.close();
             stmt.close();When i open this Temp.txt file in notepad i see ascii character 129 (rectangular box) instead of the new line. But when i print the file i have each row in a separate line.
Why could this be happening??
Please help...

hi,
Try PrintWriter instead :
File file = new File("D:/testing.txt");
        //FileWriter writer   = new FileWriter(file, false);
        //BufferedWriter pw      = new BufferedWriter(writer);
        PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(file);
        pw.print("aaa");
        pw.print("|");
        pw.print("aaa");
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          File file = new File("/test/test.txt");
        //FileWriter writer   = new FileWriter(file, false);
        //BufferedWriter pw      = new BufferedWriter(writer);
        PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(file);
        pw.print("aaa");
        pw.print("|");
        pw.print("aaa");
        pw.print("|");
        pw.print("aaa");
        pw.println();
        pw.print("aaa");
        pw.print("|");
        pw.print("aaa");
        pw.print("|");
        pw.print("aaa");
        pw.close();
     }hth
