How to break the line by passing my data to a file. txt?

The code I’m using to open, write and close . txt are these: 

arquivo = open("arquivo.txt", "a", newline="")
arquivo.write("%s;" % nome_critico)
arquivo.close()

What I’m hoping is that all the data will stay that way:

And not like this:

python python-3.x

  • At the last printed value, you can not put %s\n?

  • The problem with doing this is that n goes along with the .txt. file ex: "Max;6,000; n"

  • That’s how it worked for me: https://repl.it/Jbl1/3. Basically I put the file.write("\n") at the end of if.

    @Kennethanderson, you take that easy \n' with rstrip, example: 'test string\n'.rstrip()

    Or you can use splitlines() to remove line breaks, when you read the file. See in the answer editing.

Use line break with the appropriate exhaust for this, just add '\n' at the end of the string. In the example below I read the strings from a list and add the line break when I write to the file:

arquivo = open("arquivo.txt", "a", newline="")
persons = ['Jose antonio de oliveira; [email protected]', 
           'Ana Fake da Silva; [email protected]']

for p in persons:
    arquivo.write(p+'\n')
arquivo.close()

Showing the file contents with the command cat (Linux):

cat arquivo.txt
Jose antonio de oliveira; [email protected]
Ana Fake da Silva; [email protected]

Edited
After reading the comments more carefully, I thought I should complement the answer.

Reading the file:

With readlines():

lines = open('arquivo.txt','r').readlines()
print (lines) 
['Jose antonio de oliveira; [email protected]\n', 'Ana Fake da Silva; [email protected]\n']

With splitlines():

lines = open('arquivo.txt','r').read().splitlines()
print (lines)
['Jose antonio de oliveira; [email protected]', 'Ana Fake da Silva; [email protected]']

See that splitlines(), removes "automatic" the exhaust for line breaking.
