Need help in how to print new line character in unix using java

Question

Hi All,
I use the printstream class to print some line in a text using java.
here is the code:
   FileOutputStream out; // declare a file output object
        PrintStream p; // declare a print stream object
                p.print("\t");
                p.print(date);
                p.print("\t\t");
                p.print(RecCount);
                p.println("\n");when i use this and output of this character in windows is
date RecCount
22-07-2007 23456
when i use the same code in unix it shows the following output:
date RecCount[]22-07-2007
it wont accept the new line character could any one give me an idea to solve this problem.

PrintStream has a println() method. Use that. Or System.getProperty("line.separator").
Because a newline char doesn't necessarily specify a line break. It's system-dependent.
