Question:
When defining a string, is there a way to include a carriage return in the text?

. However, make sure that if you really wanta line separator, and not a carriage return, that you query the line.separatorproperty using System.getProperty(). Java supports the followingescaped characters:

• horizontal tab
• linefeed

• f form feed
• carriage return

• ” double quote
• ‘ single quote
• \ backslash

Octal values and Unicode escape values are also supported.
