I am writing a text into a file. I am getting a column from database and stored it in a string and writing it in a text file. That column contains c# code and it is writing like a single line with small squares for next line(space). I need to write it line by line. Here is my code. 

using (var dest = File.AppendText(Path.Combine(_logFolderPath, "a.txt")))
{
    dest.WriteLine(line.TrimStart());
}

Any suggestion?

Does Notepad show small squares for new lines, but when you look at the file in Visual Studio it's OK? If so, my guess is that this will fix it:

dest.WriteLine(line.TrimStart().Replace("\n", Environment.NewLine));

  • +1 - Though since the dest.WriteLine method appends a line feed character of its own, you might want to Replace the "\n" characters with string.Empty. – sheikhjabootie Nov 30 '10 at 10:43

try this

File.AppendAllText(Path.Combine(_logFolderPath, "a.txt", 
    line.Trim() + Environment.NewLine));
