How to Capture New Line in JTextArea?

I apologize if this is easy, but I've been searching here and the web for a few hours with no results.
I have a JTextArea on a form. I want to save the text to a database, including any newline characters - /n or /r/n - that were entered.
If I just do a .getText for the component, I can do a System.println and see the carriage return. However, when I store and then retrieve from the database, I get the lines concatenated.
How to I search for the newline character and then - for lack of a better idea - replace it with a \n or something similar?
TIA!

Okay, nevermind. I got it.
I don't "see" the \n but it is there.
I added a replaceAll function to the string to replace \n with
and that saves to the database correctly.
String tmpNotes = txtNotes.getText().replaceAll("\n", "<br />");Oh, you're viewing the text as HTML? That would have been good to know. ;)
I'll have to find a Wintendo machine to try this as well.Be careful not to get a machine that that says "Nii!"

How to print new line in jsp page

hi
how to print new line in jsp page
thanks

\n - new line character is in java specific not HTML
specific.Well, if the correct line separator sequence (by far not always \n) would be used, it does add a new line to the HTML output. Too bad that you don't want to see HTML but formatted text. The BR tag is a formatting element for the displayed text, not a line break in HTML. ;)

How to insert new line in the copied schema with transaction code PE01?

Dear Experts,
I have copied HKT0 to ZKT0 , i want to insert new line between line 150 and line 160 in ZKT0, I don't know how to insert new line 160, who can tell me ?
Looking forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
Merry

Hi,
1. Open your schema,
2. In first colume "Line" select line where you want to add new line,
3. Replace first value in the column field (that indicates number of line) with character I (means insert),
4. Press enter
The line will be added. The same way you can add lines to PCR.
To delete use character D.
Cheers

How to add new line in message on my S890

My stock keyboard in Lenovo S890 doesn't have enter key, is this normal ? How to add new line ?
However this happened only in messages, while using whatsapp the enter key present.

Hi,
the fact that your question is posted in Order Management section, does the move order automatically generated by OM?
nevertheless, i don't think you should (or allowed, in this case) to add a new line in transact move order. Transact move order only queries (not create records) the move order lines eligible to allocate and transact.
So, I don't see why you need to add a new line in transact move order.
You can, however, add a new line in the allocation of the lines, where for instance, you need to have half of the line allocated to one locator, and the other half to another locator
Thanks

How to make new line in JButton.setText()?

how to make new line in JButton.setText()?
I want to set the text of jbutton in tow line ,as follows
| jbutton-line1 |
| xxxxxxx-line2 |
i konw i can jbtton.settext("<html>line1<br>line2</html>");
but i find it's ugly using html,
is there anyother way to create new line in JButton's Text

As for the above comment....
I thought the question was well purposed. Using HTML was not acceptable in this instance, which was made clear, so why critisize his comments? "Using HTML" is a poor solution, it does NOT work in many instances due to browser, OS variations. Usually the "common answer" is never a COMPLETE answer.
Possible Solution:
Use JLabels to render the text on the button.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class ButtonMaker {
public static void makeButton(JButton jb, String[] titleList) {
jb.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
for (int i = 0; i < titleList.length; i++) {
JLabel tmpLabel = new JLabel(titleList);
tmpLabel.setForeground(Color.black);
jb.add(tmpLabel);
public static void clearButton(JButton jb) {
Component[] cList = jb.getComponents();
for (int i = 0; i < cList.length; i++) {
if (cList[i] instanceof JLabel)
jb.remove(cList[i]);
Known Limitations:
1. Flowlayout does not work well with single line text buttons... perhaps another layout manager may work better for various buttonsizes-linenumber combos.
2. Mac OSX : The default UI for Mac OS X (and above it seems), is to have rounded edged buttons. These rounded edges are destoryed when using JLabels, leaving a square, blocky button in its place.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
(this is ugly and time consuming)
- create images of the button with text on them.

Hi,
I think <xsl:text>#xa;</xsl:text> should do the trick, but depending on which OS (ux or win), the "new line" chars sequence is different (win would require a CRLF like <xsl:text>#xd;*#xa;</xsl:text>)

How to insert new line character?

Hi all,
I have two lines to print.
out.println("Available number of columns="+cols);
out.println("Number of columns must be present=10");My problem is:
i want both the lines to be printed one below the other. But, it is displayed in one single line.....
Can anyone please tell me how to insert new line character?
I tried with \n, '\n' and \r\n but, in vain......
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Ashvini

You should never use "\n" directly.
The line separator character is different on different operating systems.
And putting quotes around it in your string will make absolutely no difference in the JSP.
To find out what the line separator is you should use System.getProperty("line.separator");
The JSPWriter and PrintWriter classes will automatically use this property with a println statement, so a println will always finish with a line separator.
The issue here was that HTML by default ignores all whitespace.
The solutions provided
- use a <br> tag instead of a carriage return
- use <pre> tags, which tells the browser not to ignore whitespace. That can be troublesome in JSP which generates a lot of extraneous carriage returns into the code.

How to remove new line character from query output?

Hi,
How to remove new line character from query output?
have tried select replace(column_name, CHR(10), ' ') from table_name.
Edited by: GreenHorn on Sep 11, 2008 12:53 AM

Please consider, that windows uses a sequence of chr13||chr(10) Unix uses only one character chr(10).
The new line character(s) may be OS-dependent.
You could consider both with:
replace(replace(column_name, CHR(13)||CHR(10), ' '),CHR(10),' ')

Hello
Sitholimela,
>> Can you please help me add new row on resource file, here is the code i have used to read my resource file.
From your description, it seems that your resource file is a XML format file, if so, you could also have a try to use
LINQ To XML which is easy to operate the XML file to add new row to your resource file, and here is an example to show how to add a new element/row to the specific tree:
Linq to XML Add element to specific sub tree

How to write new line to a File?

How to write new line to a file?
I have a string to be written to a file. the string contains "\n" in it. But why it is not showing the new line in the file.
I have tryed FileWriter class and FileOutputStream class, but none of them works?
any suggestion please...

Probably using PrintStream::println() is a portable way.
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.PrintStream;
public class NewLine {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     try {
         PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("foo.txt"));
         ps.write("string".getBytes());
         ps.println();
         ps.close();
     } catch (java.io.IOException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
}Regards,

How to create new line in actionscript 3

I have this simple script that is suppose to take a comma seperate values from xml and make it into something similar to a unordered list if only i could get a "\n" to work. Here is my script.
   var dont_forget:Array = myXML..dont_forget[n].split(",");
   var d:Number = dont_forget.length;
            while (d--) {
              detailsMovieClip_mc.dont_forget.text = "> "+dont_forget[d]+"\n\r";
              trace(dont_forget[d]);
When the trace runs it shows me the values so i know that they are there. I am however only seeing the last value. How do i create a new line in as 3?

Use the appendText method. By assigning the text using "=" you are overwriting it on each pass thru the loop.
detailsMovieClip_mc.dont_forget.appendText( "> "+dont_forget[d]+"\n\r");
