Title Body

I have a Tab-delimited String (representing a table) that is passed to my method. When I print it to the command line, it appears like a table with rows: https://i.sstatic.net/2fAyq.gif The command window is correctly buffered. My thinking is that there is definitely a new line character before or after each row. My problem is that I want to split up the incoming string into individual strings representing the rows of the table. So far I have: private static final String newLine = System.getProperty("line.separator").toString(); private static final String tab = "\t"; private static String[] rows; ... rows = tabDelimitedTable.split(newLine); //problem is here System.out.println(); System.out.println("################### start debug ####################"); System.out.println((tabDelimitedTable.contains(newLine)) ? "True" : "False"); System.out.println("#################### end debug###################"); System.out.println(); output: ################### start debug #################### False #################### end debug################### Obviously there is something in the string telling the OS to start a new line. Yet it apparently contains no newline characters. Running the latest JDK on Windows XP SP3. Any Ideas?
