i getting output whole line instead of in new line.can 1 on tia

your program works fine me, producing 1 output line each input line. except detail that, output lines ended in \r, delimitters must this:

    scan.usedelimiter(pattern.compile("[\\n]+")); 

(the semicolon delimitter no use input format).
