Again, when you say something is not working properly, it isn’t clear what
your result is (error, or new second line not printing at all, or second
print not printing on a new line). I am just going to assume you mean it
didn’t print on its own new line…
“\n” and “\t” are special characters (as opposed to commands). The newline
character is platform specific, and on Windows you probably want “\r\n”.
Python gives you a platform independent way to do it. Give this a try and
see if it fixes your problem?
import os
...# platform specific line separator command via os.linesep
file.write("i am line 1" + os.linesep)
Also, if you want to clean up your snippet a bit, you could write it like
this:
import osimport maya.cmds as cmds
path=cmds.internalVar(upd=True)+"preset.txt"with open(path, 'w') as f:
f.write("i am line 1" + os.linesep)
f.write("i am line 2")
