macOS Python: New Line in files?

[Nsutton]

When writing to a file, how do you tell python to format the text and enter to the next line?

-Thanks

I don't know what you mean by "format the text".

Newlines are different for linux/mac vs. windows/dos

For *nix systems, including Mac

print("This is on the first line \n and this is on the second.")

For Windows/DOS machines

print("This is on the first line \r\n and this is on the second.")

Bostonaholic that works. thanks!

You can also add the newline character (\n) to the end of your line.
For instance:

writeline("Hello.\n")

will result in a new line at the \n point.
