[Tutor] Write new line(enter) in txt

[Flynn, Stephen (L & P - IT)]

Ahhh - my mistake.

You open your file in binary mode - open it in text mode instead and the '\n' will be translated to '\n\r' (carriage return and line feed).

I do most of my coding on AIX / Unix where only the Newline is required, so that was the first thing I looked for... you're on Windows where an end of line is marked via a CR + LF.

Ok Flyyn!
Thank you for answered my question. I think I didn't explain what I need. The printing statement is used to print a message to  the Windows console, then the other line written in the else statement is:
log.write('No existe el archivo ' +shx+"\n")
This is the part I'm struggling with, I don't know how to add the "new line" to the txt

You don't "print" a newline when you print each line of the file contents...


print 'El archivo ' +shx +' existe'




You need to add a newline:

print 'El archivo ' +shx +' existe' + '\n'

Hello list!!

This is a very simple question!! I want to write some lines in a txt file, but my output looks like this:
No existe el archivo C:\índice.dbfNo existe el archivo C:\índice_dwg.dbfNo existe el archivo C:\índice_raster.dbf
I need it to look like this:
No existe el archivo C:\índice.dbf
No existe el archivo C:\índice_dwg.dbf
No existe el archivo C:\índice_raster.dbf

The code I wrote is:
log = open ('errors.txt','wb')
shp = 'Error al abrir el archivo' +filepath
log.write(shp+"\n")
n = os.path.splitext(filepath)
p = n[0]+'.prj'
shx = n[0]+'.shx'
dbf = n[0]+'.dbf'
if os.path.exists(shx):
                        print 'El archivo ' +shx +' existe'
                else:
                        log.write('No existe el archivo ' +shx+"\n")
                if os.path.exists(dbf):
                        print 'El archivo ' +dbf +' existe'
                else:
                        log.write('No existe el archivo ' +dbf+"\n")
log.close()
