How to preserve line break in String readAllBytes

Question

Folks

I am using a template file which will be fed into a String variable, however when i write the contents of the string it ignores the linebreaks in the file.

How do i preserve the line breaks from original file so the output file also contains these line breaks ?

Code

      InputStream in = classLoader.getResourceAsStream("templates/reportTemplate.html");
      BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
      //File htmlTemplateFile = new File();
     // String htmlString = FileUtils.read(classLoader.getResourceAsStream("templates/reportTemplate.html");)
      String body = data;
      StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder("");
      String line;
      while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            result.append(line);
        }
        in.close();

          File newHtmlFile = new File(fileLocation + "/report.html");
          FileUtils.writeStringToFile(newHtmlFile, result.toString().replace("$body", body));
          Path path = Paths.get(fileLocation + "/report.html");
          Charset charset = StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1;

          String content = new String(Files.readAllBytes(path),charset);
          // Not working :: String newLineChar = System.getProperty("line.separator");
          // Not working :: content = content.replaceAll("\\n", newLineChar);
         content = content.replaceAll("\\$highrisk", Integer.toString(highrisk));
        content = content.replaceAll("\\$criticalrisk", Integer.toString(criticalrisk));
        content = content.replaceAll("\\$mediumrisk", Integer.toString(mediumrisk));
        content = content.replaceAll("\\$lowrisk", Integer.toString(lowrisk));
          Files.write(path, content.getBytes(charset));

Template file (to help those who cannot reproduce)

Answer 1

There's the problem:

StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder("");
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { // <---
    result.append(line);
}
in.close();

BufferedReader::readLine reads a line, but not the line ending:

Returns: A String containing the contents of the line, not including any line-termination characters

If you want to read a file while also ending up with the line endings you could do this:

InputStream in = classLoader.getResourceAsStream("templates/reportTemplate.html");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
String result = reader.lines().collect(Collectors.joining(System.lineSeparator()));
reader.close();

Answer 2

        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
        String line;
        String newLineChar = System.getProperty("line.separator");
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            result.append(line);
            result.append(newLineChar);
        }

just add newLineChar after every read line...
