Ask about how to append text on next line

Question

I'm writing lingo about log file. For example, i would like
to write like this when a new entry is appended:
etc 3/29/2007 8:34 PM
etc2 3/29/2007 8:34 PM
Here is the lingo:
on mouseUp
if objectP(myFile) then set myFile = 0 -- Delete the
instance if it already exists
myFile = new(xtra "fileio") -- Create an instance of FileIO
openFile(myfile, the moviePath&"try.txt",0) --Open the
file with R/W access
myVariable = readFile(myFile)
setPosition(myfile,getLength(myFile)) -- Set position to end
of file
writeString(myFile, " " & "etc" & " " &
_system.date() & " " & _system.time()) -- Append text to
the file
closeFile (myfile) -- Close the file
myFile = 0 -- Dispose of the instance
end
The problem is the appended text is put together, instead of
a line by a line. In fact, what I want is the appended text is put
into next line everytime, not on the same line. Please help me to
modify it, thanks.

Try changing this line:
writeString(myFile, " " & "etc" & " " &
_system.date() & " " &
_system.time()) -- Append text to the file
to
writeString(myFile, " " & "etc" & " " &
_system.date() & " " &
_system.time()&RETURN) -- Append text to the file
Note that if you open the file inNotepad on a PC, it will
look strange
because of the way notepad handles line feeds. You can get
around it by
doing this:
winReturn = NumToChar( 13 ) & NumToChar( 10 )
writeString(myFile, " " & "etc" & " " &
_system.date() & " " &
_system.time()&winReturn) -- Append text to the file
