Carriage Return\Line feed in Java

问题

I have created a text file in Unix environment using Java code.

For writing the text file I am using java.io.FileWriter and BufferedWriter. And for newline after each row I am using bw.newLine() method (where bw is object of BufferedWriter).

And I'm sending that text file by attaching in mail from Unix environment itself (automated that using Unix commands).

My issue is, after I download the text file from mail in a Windows system, if I opened that text file the data is not properly aligned. newline() character is not working, I think so.

I want same text file alignment as it is in Unix environment, if I opened the text file in Windows environment also.

How do I resolve the problem?

Java code below for your reference (running in Unix environment):

File f = new File(strFileGenLoc);
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(f, false));
rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from jpdata");
while ( rs.next() ) {
    bw.write(rs.getString(1)==null? "":rs.getString(1));
    bw.newLine();
}

回答1:

Java only knows about the platform it is currently running on, so it can only give you a platform-dependent output on that platform (using bw.newLine()) . The fact that you open it on a windows system means that you either have to convert the file before using it (using something you have written, or using a program like unix2dos), or you have to output the file with windows format carriage returns in it originally in your Java program. So if you know the file will always be opened on a windows machine, you will have to output

bw.write(rs.getString(1)==null? "":rs.getString(1));
bw.write("\r\n");

It's worth noting that you aren't going to be able to output a file that will look correct on both platforms if it is just plain text you are using, you may want to consider using html if it is an email, or xml if it is data. Alternatively, you may need some kind of client that reads the data and then formats it for the platform that the viewer is using.

回答2:

The method newLine() ensures a platform-compatible new line is added (0Dh 0Ah for DOS, 0Dh for older Macs, 0Ah for Unix/Linux). Java has no way of knowing on which platform you are going to send the text. This conversion should be taken care of by the mail sending entities.

回答3:

Don't know who looks at your file, but if you open it in wordpad instead of notepad, the linebreaks will show correct. In case you're using a special file extension, associate it with wordpad and you're done with it. Or use any other more advanced text editor.

回答4:

bw.newLine(); cannot ensure compatibility with all systems.

If you are sure it is going to be opened in windows, you can format it to windows newline.

If you are already using native unix commands, try unix2dos and convert teh already generated file to windows format and then send the mail.

If you are not using unix commands and prefer to do it in java, use ``bw.write("\r\n")` and if it does not complicate your program, have a method that finds out the operating system and writes the appropriate newline.

If I understand you right, we talk about a text file attachment. Thats unfortunate because if it was the email's message body, you could always use "\r\n", referring to http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html

But as it's an attachment, you must live with system differences. If I were in your shoes, I would choose one of those options:

a) only support windows clients by using "\r\n" as line end.

b) provide two attachment files, one with linux format and one with windows format.

c) I don't know if the attachment is to be read by people or machines, but if it is people I would consider attaching an HTML file instead of plain text. more portable and much prettier, too :)

Encapsulate your writer to provide char replacement, like this:

public class WindowsFileWriter extends Writer {

    private Writer writer;

    public WindowsFileWriter(File file) throws IOException {
        try {
            writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(file), "ISO-8859-15");
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            writer = new FileWriter(logfile);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void write(char[] cbuf, int off, int len) throws IOException {
        writer.write(new String(cbuf, off, len).replace("\n", "\r\n"));
    }

    @Override
    public void flush() throws IOException {
        writer.flush();
    }

    @Override
    public void close() throws IOException {
        writer.close();
    }

}
