I have the following code:

File aFile = new File("data.txt");

try {
   FileWriter aFileWriter = new FileWriter(aFile);
   aFileWriter.write("Hello.\n");
   aFileWriter.write("This is.\n");
   aFileWriter.write("A Test.\n");
}
catch (Exception anException){
   System.out.println("Error: " + anException);
}

This is supposed to write

Hello.
This is.
A Test.

but on to three different lines. As you can see I included \n as a line separator, but it does not seem to work.

Does anyone know how to get the line separator to work correctly please?

He did specify it. It was not formatted, but present. – T. Claverie May 16 '16 at 17:27
@SotiriosDelimanolis If you read carefully, you find the line `but on to three different lines. As you can see I included \n as a line separator, but it does not seem to work/` – Suresh Atta May 16 '16 at 17:27
You guys must be correct, given the title. – Sotirios Delimanolis May 16 '16 at 17:31
Thanks all - System.getProperty("line.separator") worked! – Joe May 16 '16 at 17:35
