java - Is there a way to make PrintWriter output to UNIX format?

Question

In Java, of course. I'm writing a program and running it under a Windows environment, but I need the output (.csv) to be done in Unix format. Any easy solution? Thanks!

Answer 1

To write a file with unix line endings, override println in a class derived from PrintWriter, and use print with .

PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter("testFile") {
    @Override
    public void println() {
        write('
');
    }
};
out.println("This file will always have unix line endings");
out.println(41);
out.close();

This avoids having to touch any existing println calls you have in your code.
