How to insert new line character in a string
Hi,
I have following script where I am writing some text to file.
I wanted each of the lines in seperate line in the file. It is writing to the file but when I open the file(in windows) it shows me a special character( a sqare).
How can we avoid this?
<concat destfile="${soft.labels.path}\${soft-lable-win}">
element * CHECKEDOUT
time ${timerule}
${load.rules}
</concat>
Thanks,
Karunakar Chatla

Use this my friend:
<echo file="${basedir}/project/Readme.txt" append="false">This is
the first line A & # x D ; (Remove Spaces)
This is the second line B & # x D ; (Remove Spaces)
</echo>
<echo file="...">This is the first line A
This is the second line B
</echo>
Regards,
Amit

You could also try ${line.separator}

On second glance, it looks like that only applies to the fixlastline
attribute.
If you can't find any other solution, you could try the ugly way - put

 at the end of each line. I haven't tested this either.
