Java Reading String with multiple line

Question

I have a string with multiple line, I want to display them individually example when I only want to display the first inline it will show only 'apple'

Example display line 1 = orange

What i haven done is as follows, it can display all but unable to select which fruit position to display

   public static void main(String args[]) {


        String fruit = "apple" + "\n" + "orange"+"\n"+"pear";

        BufferedReader br = null;
        try {
            String sCurrentLine;
            br = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(fruit));
            while ((sCurrentLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(sCurrentLine);
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            try {
                if (br != null) {
                    br.close();
                }
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

    }
}

output: 
apple
orange
pear

Try using String#split instead, for example...

String fruit = "apple" + "\n" + "orange"+"\n"+"pear";
String[] basket = fruit.split("\n");

This will allow you to access each element individually by index
