PrintWriter to print on next line

io, java, printwriter, sql

Solution

You should use `println` to print a newline character after each line:

writer.println(RS.getString(1));

Problem

I have the following code to print a string(from a ResultSet) to a text file: ``` PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(file, false)); while(RS.next()) { writer.write(RS.getString(1)+"\n"); } ``` I put a "\n" in the write statement in hopes that it will print each row on a different line, but it failed. The txt file currently prints out like so, with row# being a different row in the ResultSet: row1row2row3row4row5 I want it to print out like: row1 row2 row3 row4 row5 ...
