Hi,

I have this piece of code to write a String to a file:

static public void setContents(File aFile, String aContents) throws
FileNotFoundException, IOException
	{
	Writer output = null;
	try
		{
		output = new BufferedWriter( new FileWriter(aFile) );
		output.write( aContents );
		}
		finally
			{
			if (output != null)
				output.close();
			}
	}
	
But the file, looks like: (Some problem with \n) (How to solve it)

Try using PrintWriter and the println() method.

To expand on that: you need to write out your text line by line, with 
println(). If you simply concatenate a bunch of lines with "\n" for 
newlines, they won't get translated to the platform newline (\r\n) 
automatically.

The other alternative is that in your code, instead of using a naked 
"\n" when concatenating your strings, you use the platform line 
separator property:

   String platformNewLine = System.getProperty("line.separator");

   String output =
	"this is the first line" + platformNewLine +
	"this is the second line" + platformNewLine +
         ...;

And now you can write out your string using your original code.
