FileWriter cant recognise '\n' character

Posted: Nov 27, 2007 6:56 AM

I wrote a simple program which will write a file as I want the content to be.But I cant write the file string line by line.The produced file shows the content in a single line and cant recognize the line feed character '\n'. How to write a file this way.My code for writing the file is-

String fileContent="This is 1st line\nThis is 2nd line";
public void SaveAs()
	{
 
		JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser();
		int r = jfc.showSaveDialog(this);
 
		if (r== JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
		{
			FileName = jfc.getSelectedFile().getPath();
			FileName=FileName+".txt";
			writeFile(FileName);
			
		}
 
	}//End of SaveAs() Method
 
  
  
  public void writeFile(String fn)
	{
		try{
 
			FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(fn);
 
			fw.write(fileContent);
 
			fw.close();
 
 
		}catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){}
		 catch(IOException ioe){}
 
	}//End of writeFile(String fn) Method

And how can I write any ANY character in keyboard in textfile.PLS HELP ME
