    int x =0;
    String line;
    if(val == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
    {
        File fs=jfc.getSelectedFile();
        if(!fs.exists())
        {
            fs.createNewFile();
            FileWriter fw=new FileWriter(fs.getAbsolutePath()+".txt");
            BufferedWriter bf=new BufferedWriter(fw);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(ja.getText()));
            while((line= br.readLine())!=null)
            {
                x++;
                if(line.charAt(x)=='\n')
                    fw.write('\n');
                else
                    fw.write(line+"\n");
            }
            fw.close();
        }
        else
        {

        }
    }
}
catch(Exception e2)
{
    e2.printStackTrace();
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Cannot save file");

Answer 1

You are checking the first char in the first line, the second char in the second line so on.

Try changing

if(line.charAt(x)=='\n')

to

if(line.endsWith('\\n'))

Also you should escape line ends. Use \\n instead of \n.

Answer 2

Change your current code from

while((line= br.readLine())!=null)
{
    x++;
    if(line.charAt(x)=='\n')
        fw.write('\n');
    else
        fw.write(line+"\n");
}

to

 while((line= br.readLine())!=null) {             
     fw.write(line+"\n");
 }
