I am trying to build a program in JAVA that takes data from a URL and saves it to a text file. My main problem is that my program doesn't store line changes. To be more specific here is my code:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class Jva_Parser {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
URL oracle = new URL("http://cgi.di.uoa.gr/~std10108/a.txt");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(oracle.openStream()));
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter("the-file-name.txt", "UTF-8");
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
{
writer.write(inputLine+"\n");
System.out.println(inputLine);
}
writer.close();
in.close();
}
}
The ouput at the console is:
This is a message!
This is a second line!
as it should be. The file is exactly this. Whereas the file that is created, contains this:
This is a message!This is a second line!
I cannot understand what I am doing wrong.
EDIT: I tried this but it doesn't works either
writer.write(inputLine + System.getProperty( "line.separator" ));
Yes I open the file with notepad, and I am at windows. I want to take the program to android so any further information would be usefull
