How to display the multiple lines text in a single - String, StringBuffer

Question

Hi,
I have a textarea field named Decription which contains more than one line seperated by new line.I need to display those five lines in a single text without breaking. Is it possible? I am getting ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException while i reached to the end of the line. Plz help me how to align the below code so that i can display the lines as a single line in my excel sheet.
                    if(op.getDescription()!=null)
                        String[] oppDescs = op.getDescription().split("\n");
                        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
                        for(int i1=0; i<=oppDescs.length-1;++i1)
                            *writeFile(sb.append(oppDescs[i1]), valueWriter);*
                     } else {
                        writeFile(op.getDescription(), valueWriter);
private void writeFile(java.lang.Object value,PrintWriter valueWriter)
        if(value!=null)
            valueWriter.print(value);   
    }Thanks and Regards

previous was java1.5
heres a 1.1 - 1.4 version
String[] oppDescs = op.getDescription().split("\n");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for(int i = 0; i < oppDescs.length : i++){
  sb.append(oppDescs);
sb.append( '\t' );
writeFile(sb.toString(), valueWriter );Edited by: simon_orange on 31-Oct-2008 13:02
