How can I print “\t” (as it looks) in Java?

Question

I want to print backslash t in Java. But whenever I try, it actualy takes it as \t operator. Double backslash didn't work. How can I do that.

Answer 1

Escape the backslash by adding another, for example

System.out.println("This is a tab \t and this is not \\t");

If this doesn't work, there might be something else wrong in your code - please post it if this doesn't help you.

Answer 2

System.out.println("\"\\t\"");

if you need even the double quotes :)

Answer 3

public static void main(String[] args) { 
    System.out.println("\"\t\""); 
}

Answer 4

System.out.println("\\"+"\\t");

Shows: \t

Answer 5

You need to escape the '\' with another '\'

System.out.println("\\t");

Answer 6

To add tab in java the process same like c and java

In C:-
printf("This will display the tab example \t After tab");

In Java:-
System.out.println("This will display the tab example \t After tab");

Same will be for New line also
System.out.println("This will display the New Line example \n Next Line");
