New Line using file.Append or file.Write

[Hebster]

So im working on a ulx command that when used will write a line of text to a txt file in the data folder and this file will serve as the donations log for my server.

This is what i have so far but obviously this will only make it go down to 2 lines, i lack the coding knowledge to make it create a new line everytime, so if anyone could help that would be great.

local old = file.Read("donationslog.txt","DATA")
local new = (old .. target_ply:Nick() .. "(" .. target_ply:SteamID() .. ") Bought a custom trail \n")
file.Write("donationslog.txt", new)	

this would output the following if the command was run 4 times:
<Name><SteamID> donated for a custom trail
<Name><SteamID> donated for a custom trail<Name><SteamID> donated for a custom trail<Name><SteamID> donated for a custom trail

and obviously i want it to output the following:
<Name><SteamID> donated for a custom trail
<Name><SteamID> donated for a custom trail
<Name><SteamID> donated for a custom trail
<Name><SteamID> donated for a custom trail

Your code seems to be fine. Maybe it's your editor that's displaying the file incorrectly?

try \r\n instead of \n
