With StreamWriter doesn't work \n (C#)

c#, newline, streamwriter

Solution

Use `Environment.NewLine` as line separator or `"\r\n"` if you want to do it by hand.

Problem

I have a problem with the C# Stream Writer. I use the following Code: ``` //Constructor public EditorTXTFile { FileStream f = File.Create(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\Output.txt"); f.Close(); } //Function AddText public void AddLogFileText(string text) { string text = "l1\n\rl2\n\rl3\n\nl5"; StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\Output.txt", true); writer.Write(text); writer.Close(); } ``` When I open Output.txt it shows for \n or \r a █(which means not showable symbol) and the whole string is in one line... Later should the text hand over the function, so I can't write the text with .WriteLine because I don't know if the actual string is on the same line or in a new line. What make I wrong? Thanks for any help.
