The carriage return is platform-dependent, so Windows and UNIX for example
represent it differenly. You have to ask the System object what it's using
to represent it:

char lineSeparator = System.getProperty("line.separator").charAt(0);

I'm trying to write a | delimited file for a external program to parse

I.e.

390129|1326|David Gould|.|18 Huxley Way|Bishops
Cleave|Cheltenham|Gloucester|GL52|D||0|N|N||1|
390129|1326|David Gould|.|18 Huxley Way|Bishops
Cleave|Cheltenham|Gloucester|GL52|D||0|N|N||1|

The external program reads in the file incorrectly as the carriage return is
not reconised.

I was using \n to do this but it didn't work, I presume this is a unicode /
Ascii problem.

how do I write a carriage return in ASCII in java.

I've been trying things like this in my jsp file

<%
        int a = 0x0013;
        int b = 0x0010;
        Character c = new Character( (char)a );
        Character d = new Character( (char)b );

  String OutputString = "";
  OutputString = OutputString + "390129|1326|David Gould|.|18 Huxley
Way|Bishops Cleave|Cheltenham|Gloucester|GL52|D||0|N|N||1|" + d + c;
  OutputString = OutputString + "390129|1326|David Gould|.|18 Huxley
Way|Bishops Cleave|Cheltenham|Gloucester|GL52|D||0|N|N||1|";

%><%= OutputString %>

but to not joy
