I was searching the web and never found anything, but I was probably just searching wrong. My goal of this fun meme project is to create a script that makes a file that contains numbers that count up to a certain specific amount on separate lines. So far I have:

import os

os.chdir("path")

myFile = open("numbers.txt", "wt")


x = 1
for i in range(10):
    x += 1
print(x)



myFile.close()

myFile = open("numbers.txt", "r")
print(myFile.read())

My question is how to write the numbers on separate lines.

Sorry if there is some confusion I'm new to python and a young programmer and this is probably an easy fix. Thanks in advance :P

    You should first work through the [Python tutorial](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/) if not done yet. – Michael Butscher Oct 31 '20 at 15:34
  • Thanks for the Python tutorial I will certainly look through that. I know how to use the \n stuff, but I don't know how make that work with the setup I currently have. Thanks though. – yourfriendlyprogrammer Oct 31 '20 at 15:37

Researching a bit about file handlers, escape strings and for loops would be useful:

with open("numbers.txt", "wt") as f:
    x = 1
    for i in range(10):
        x += 1
        f.write(str(x)+'\n')
