Java Add new line in String

Different operating system has a different new line or line separator string:

• UNIX, Linux or Mac OSX = \n
• Windows = \r\n

package com.mkyong;
public class NewLineExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String original = "Hello World Java";
        System.out.println(original);
		// add new line
        String originalNewLine = "Hello\nWorld\nJava";
        System.out.println(originalNewLine);

Output

Hello World Java
Hello
World
Java

We can also use the Java 1.7 System.lineSeparator to return the system-dependent new line:

package com.mkyong;
public class NewLineExample2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String original = "Hello World Java";
        System.out.println(original);
        String originalNewLine = "Hello"
                + System.lineSeparator() + "World"
                + System.lineSeparator() + "Java";
        System.out.println(originalNewLine);
