I can append new texts but cant get newline



I tried adding newline to the hello world but instead of new line it just simply add my first line and hello world to the previous line.



myfile=open("test.txt","a")
myfile.write("nhello world")
myfile.close()

my first line
hello world

  • That's how escape characters work. If you want to add the 'n' as a normal string to file, you may prefix the escape character with a ''. Like "\nhello world".

myfile.write('Remember,teamwork begins by building trust.nAnd the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability.n-- Patrick Lencioni')
myfile.close()

Remember,teamwork begins by building trust.
And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability.
