We can load text file with the following format to Properties:
prop1=line1\ line2\ line3
The code above added a slash \ to continue the value on the next line.
import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.util.Properties; public class Main { public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { Properties p = new Properties(); p.load(new FileInputStream("Main.txt")); /* w w w . j a v a2 s . c o m*/ } }
