StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append("Line 1");
//insert new line character
//insert tab character
sb.Append("Line 2");
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("example.txt"))
{
sq.Write(sb.ToString());
}
How can insert a new line and tab character in this example?
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append("Line 1");
sb.Append(System.Environment.NewLine); //Change line
sb.Append("\t"); //Add tabulation
sb.Append("Line 2");
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("example.txt"))
{
sw.Write(sb.ToString());
}
You can find detailed documentation on TAB (and other escape character here).
Use:
sb.AppendLine();
sb.Append("\t");
for better portability. Environment.NewLine may not necessarily be \n; Windows uses \r\n, for example.
It depends on if you mean '\n' (linefeed) or '\r\n' (carriage return + linefeed). The former is not the Windows default and will not show properly in some text editors (like Notepad).
You can do
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine);
sb.Append("\t");
or
sb.Append("\r\n\t");
