Writing into a text file line by line

Question

I am writing a text into a file. I am getting a column from database and stored it in a string and writing it in a text file. That column contains c# code and it is writing like a single line with small squares for next line(space). I need to write it line by line. Here is my code.

using (var dest = File.AppendText(Path.Combine(_logFolderPath, "a.txt")))
{
    dest.WriteLine(line.TrimStart());
}  

Any suggestion?

Answer 1

Does Notepad show small squares for new lines, but when you look at the file in Visual Studio it's OK? If so, my guess is that this will fix it:

dest.WriteLine(line.TrimStart().Replace("\n", Environment.NewLine));

Answer 2

try this

File.AppendAllText(Path.Combine(_logFolderPath, "a.txt", 
    line.Trim() + Environment.NewLine));

Answer 3

dest.WriteLine(line.TrimStart().Replace("\n", Environment.NewLine).Replace("\r", Environment.NewLine));
