  Well I tried the following and it STILL always returns true in the IF
statement:

String txt = "this\nthat";
String tmp = txt.substring(i,i+1); // the i is from a FOR loop
if ( tmp.equals(System.getProperty("line.separator")) )
  blah;

  I also tried:

if ( tmp == System.getProperty("line.separator") )
  blah;

  How do I use getProperty correctly?
