Output entries to next line when writing to file

Question

My program writes entries of text to a file. Each entry is 4 word tokens written on a line. I want each entry to go on its own line, but the output I'm getting so far is:

abc1 abc1 abc1 abc1 abc2 abc2 abc2 abc2 abc3 abc3 abc3 abc3

(i.e. everything on the same line)

Here's my code:

//targetFile = "C://...."
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("targetFile, true));
String s;
s = userInfo1;     //userInfo is an array of 4 word tokens
writer.append(s + " ");
writer.flush();

Try this

writer.write(s);
writer.newLine();

or use PrintWriter instead of BufferedWriter:

printWriter.println(s);

That's only appropriate for Windows. How about Unix and Linux? – jww Oct 12 '14 at 05:06
