I was using this version of java and I wrote a program which appends strings to a string buffer.
It then converts the string buffer to a string and outputs that to a file using bufferedwriter.write
However it causes line breaks in the file where it shouldn't and I dont know why.
Are there any known issues with bufferedwriter in this java version?
Okay heres the code that does it
class Test2 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("test.txt");
BufferedWriter bw = null;
StringBuffer strb = new StringBuffer();
strb.append("allow_from");
strb.append(" ");
strb.append("dq@dq.com");
strb.append("\n");
String bufferString= strb.toString();
try {
bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
// Now put together the contents of the file:
for(int i=1;i<3001;i++)
{
bw.write(i+ " "+bufferString);
}
}
catch(IOException ioe) {
throw ioe;
}
finally {
if(bw!=null) bw.close();
}
}
}
I then use
"type test.txt " on the command prompt to see the contents of the text.txt file and thers a line break on line 1934 like this
"1
9324 allow_from dq@dq.com"
and on line 2879 like this
"2879 al
low_from dq@dq.com"

I dont know.
Im just testing it using 3001 so as to output 3001 lines.
Its for testing purposes.
There is an issue with the line breaking in the middle rather than at the end and it behaves the way I said above except the "2" in "9324" was a misprint.
It' should be 934.
Yes I transferred the text file over to my local machine to have a look at it in wordpad.
It has all the line breaks that occured when I used type to type it out to the screen and because I can see the whole file now I can see that the occurence of improper line breaks is worse than I thought.
Ive breaks at 660, 998 , a blank line between 1618 and 1619 and the one from 1933 to 1934 that I showed above.
I wonder what causes the lines to break so often.
Its definitely not writing properly to the file whatevers causing it.

When I open the file in notepad I noticed that instead of changing to a new line it would have a character that looked like this "[]".
Is there anyway of getting that to change.
Also someone mentioned to me about outputtting to a dos text file.
How would I change it so I could do that?

What options does Fast VM have? Can you run the program in interpreted mode? Does the problem reoccur in interpreted mode?
Maybe you should take this issue up with whoever makes the virtual machine you are using? Sun only makes VMs for Windows, Linux, and Solaris.
Regarding DOS text files, the only difference between them and unix files is that the line separator is "\r\n" (yes, two characters) instead of just "\n". MS Notepad can't render Unix text files properly, it's kind of stupid in that way.
