Thread: Need line breaks in output display

I have to get a list of entries from a text file to display in a JFrame. I was able to do that but everything is displaying on one line.

How do I get it to display as it is listed in the text file?

Here is what the text file contains:

Rick Sebastian 49 Rick@home.com 813-111-2222
John Doe 35 John@work.com 813-222-3333
Peggy Bundy 50 Peggy@theoffice.com 813-333-4444
Al Bundy 55 Al@thebar.com 813-444-5555
Jane Doe 27 Jane@thebeach.com 813-555-6666

Here is how it is displayed in the program:

Here is the code I'm working with:

package contact.display.info;
 
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
/**

public class ContactDisplayInfo extends JFrame {
 
JTabbedPane jtp1=new JTabbedPane();
JPanel jp1=new JPanel();
JTextArea t1=new JTextArea();
ContactDisplayInfo () throws Exception
 
{
        super("ContactDisplayinfo");
        FileReader f=new FileReader("C:/Users/Me/Documents/ContactInformationProgram/ContactInfo.txt");
        BufferedReader brk=new BufferedReader(f);       
        String s;
        while((s=brk.readLine())!=null){
        t1.append(s);
        }
        jp1.add(t1);
        jtp1.addTab("Tab1",t1);
        add(jtp1);  
        //setSize(400, 400);
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
 
    }
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
    {
        ContactDisplayInfo cdi=new ContactDisplayInfo();
        cdi.pack();
        cdi.setVisible(true);   
        cdi.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); 
    }
}

I set the frame size to 400 400 and that only changed the size of the frame. The text still extended out in one line. i know I need a word wrap of some sort, but I'm not sure how that's done, or how I would get it to group by individual entry. Ideally I would have 5 lines with 5 entries being displayed.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

In order to do that, I would have to modify the text file itself, no? If not, where would I put that in the code?
