Re: file output in java : Notepad gives weird results

I used the following code to write output to a file.
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(fname,true);
PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(fout);
Random r = new Random(10);
for(int i = 0 ; i <= r1-1; i++)
{
for (int j = 0 ; j <= c1-1; j++)
{
m1[i][j] = r.nextInt(10);
//System.out.println(m1[i][j]);
ps.print(m1[i][j]);
ps.printf("\n");
}
//ps.printf("\r");
}
ps.close();
fout.close();
}
with this code if I read the output file in notepad I get all junk
characters written out. Like this:
0V0?0V0?0?0?
But if I open this file in textpad the output is fine:
3
0
3
0
6
6
However if I uncomment
//ps.printf("\r");
Output in notepad is surprising. There are no new lines: 303066
But textpad is fine !
Apparently TextPad considers \n a line break while NotePad only
considers \r\n a line break.
That explains the last phenomenon.
The first could be due to UTF-8 versus ISO-8859-1 issues.
You could try explicit specifying character set.
