We would like to know how to have a multi-line value in a properties file.
add a slash \ to continue the value on the next line.
prop1=line1\ line2\ line3
Code
/*from www . ja va 2 s. com*/ import java.net.URL; import java.util.Properties; public class Main { public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { Properties props = new Properties(); URL url = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("props.properties"); props.load(url.openStream()); System.out.println("prop1 :\n " + props.get("prop1")); System.out.println("prop2 :\n " + props.get("prop2")); } }
