reading \n from a file

java-programmer, reading \n from a file I am reading from a file and storing in String.

I need to separate a word so that part of it goes to next line

abc\nxyd

I am moving this text to button.setText() and this should
appear on the button as

abc
xyz

for that I am putting newline escape there.

it is not working. I have tried putting unicode string in
place of \n that also is not working.

how to do it?

AWT or Swing?

well.

I am going to use that to set text on jbuttons in a
gridbaglayout. that makes it swing, but please suggest.

The main program I am working with is already having these
at the very beginning:

import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import javax.swing.text.rtf.*;

If anything else is required to enable the above, I can
include that too.

Under AWT I don't think it is possible, other than writing your own
lightweight button.

Under Swing "<html>abc<br>xyz</html>" might just work! :-)

new JButton("<html><body>abc<br>xyd</body></html>")

That is usually a bad choice, but
sometimes is becessary, I have
coded many GUI's, but only the
Periodic Table required a GBL..

You might get some value from understanding
the advantages of providing a self
contained (short!) example..

[ For example, if I'd known Swing from your
original question, I would have immediately
suggested you format using HTML.. ]

I was already using <html> on the buttons, hence I just
added <br> in place of \n in the input file.

:) it worked.

An oceanful of thanks.

It might be better to use a comma as a separator,
but using psudeo code:

array = array of strings
read in file one char at a time until EOF
{
if (string compare is /)
{if (string compare is n)
{ increment data array}
}
else
{add char to string in data array}
}

using a comma as a separator would negate the need
for a second if block.
Hope this helps.
