Didn't you know the answer by now? Have a look at the API documentation for
the System.getPrope rties() method and see for yourself.

If you had read throught the available properties names I'm sure you would have
found the "line.separator " property and its value.

It is the environment variable of any OS if i m not wrong.
But when i did in C or C++ (DOS based) then only writing put('\n') it worked well.
It is poosible in DOS and in WINDOWS "\r\n" is required.
Am i right?

Pls help.

The value of the line.separator is simply the end-of-line sequence on that
particular platform. The println() methods of the PrintStream and PrintWriter
classes use that variable value. If you want to print an end-of-line sequence
yourself you have to use that value too.
