Java String new line

Question

I have string like

\"I am a boy\".

I want to print like this way

\"I 
am 
a
boy\".

Can anybody help me?<

Answer 1

If you want to have your code os-unspecific you should use println for each word

System.out.println("I");
System.out.println("am");
System.out.println("a");
System.out.println("boy");

because Windows uses "\r\n" as newline and unixoid systems use just "\n"

println always uses the correct one

Answer 2

System.out.println("I\nam\na\nboy");

This works It will give one space character also along before enter character

Answer 3

Go for a split.

String string = "I am a boy";
for (String part : string.split(" ")) {
    System.out.println(part);
}

Answer 4

To make the code portable to any system, I would use:

public static String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");

This is important because different OSs use different notations for newline: Windows uses "\r\n", Classic Mac uses "\r", and Mac and Linux both use "\n".

Commentors - please correct me if I'm wrong on this...

Answer 5

What about %n using a formatter like String.format()?:

String s = String.format("I%nam%na%nboy");

As this answer says, its available from java 1.5 and is another way to System.getProperty("line.separator") or System.lineSeparator() and, like this two, is OS independent.

Answer 6

you can use <br> tag in your string for show in html pages
