I'm using Java Property files and would like to have a newline character put into a value (used as the contents of a message to the user), so that this output contains a new line.
I tried putting it in as a \\n (as I have to escape the backslash character), but I just end up with a message with \n written in it.
ie.
message=Dear Foo,\\n\\nThank you for signing up for Bar.
gives:
Dear Foo,\n\nThank you for signing up for Bar.
I want:
Dear Foo,
Thank you for signing up for Bar.
How can I fix this? Thanks!

for long paragraph, just use \ at the end of the line.
A property value can span several lines if each line is terminated by a backslash ('\') character. For example: targetCities=\
Adding Newline Characters in a String In Windows, a new line is denoted using “\r\n”, sometimes called a Carriage Return and Line Feed, or CRLF. Adding a new line in Java is as simple as including “\n” , “\r”, or “\r\n” at the end of our string.
getProperty(key) , we will fetch the value from the file. The same way, we can use prop. setProperty(Key, Value) to write data to . properties file.
Simply use \n for this purpose
You are escaping the escape character using \\ hence you are getting \n printed
