Correct way to write line to file?

Question

I'm used to doing `print >>f, "hi there"`However, it seems that `print >>` is getting deprecated. What is the recommended way to do the line above?Update:Regarding all those answers with `"\\n"`...is this universal or Unix-specific? IE, should I be doing `"\\r\\n"` on Windows?

Answer 1

Hello! I assume you're using Python 3.

You want to use

f.write("hi there")

If you want to print a newline at the end:

f.write("hi there\n")

Note that as of Python 3, the open() function (for files) has a newline parameter. If you don't set this parameter, any `\n` will automatically be translated into the OS-specific newline delimiter. So using `\n` should work!
