ByteArrayOutputStream/InputStream losing newline characters on S3 Import

Question

I have the following code (pseudo code-ish)...

ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
output.write("something\n".getBytes());
output.write("something\n".getBytes());

ByteArrayOutputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(output.getBytes());
s3.putStream(input);

Then when I get the file from s3 it looks like this: somethingsomething.

The newlines are gone!! I can't figure out why that is happening and internet searches have not been helpful. Does anyone have any ideas?

Just going to the s3 console and opening it there. It shows it as a txt file. — Craig, Dec 17 '13 at 23:23

It is common problem with *NIX vs Windows files.

Try : "\r\n" instead of "\n"

ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
output.write("something\r\n"".getBytes());
output.write("something\r\n"".getBytes());

ByteArrayOutputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(output.getBytes());
s3.putStream(input);

That is a good point. I'm actually writing that code on a *NIX system and then reading it in Windows. I'll give that a try, thanks. – Craig Dec 17 '13 at 23:53
