Hello everyone!

Just found I can not append a new line to a file when writing data to a File or FileConduit instance.

File file=new File("myfile.txt");
myfile.append("This is line 1");
myfile.append("This is line 2");
About code just generate "This is line 1This is line 2"
I tried below code but all the same:
myfile.append("\n\nThis is line 1\n\n");
myfile.append("\n");
myfile.append("This is line 2");

Can anybody help my on how to make it ?I just want to write data into a file line by line:
This is line 1
This is line 2

Thanks.

If you're on Windows, the line ending convention is "\r\n", not just "\n", so you could try that.

Alternatively, use a Print/FormatOutput (depends on whether you're
using 0.99.7 or HEAD).
