How could I create a txt document and add text to it with line breaks?

  • 772

For example: Hi, how are you?

and what I want to write in the txt document: 

Hola
que
tal

/* Corrected */

var data = "Hola, \r\n ¿qué \r\n tal?";

var filename = "example_text.txt";
var type = "text/plain;charset=utf-8";

var a = document.createElement("a"),
    file = new Blob([data], {type: type});

if (window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob) { // IE10+
    window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(file, filename);
} else { // Others
    var url = URL.createObjectURL(file);
    a.href = url;
    a.download = filename;

    document.body.appendChild(a);
    a.click();
    setTimeout(function() {
        document.body.removeChild(a);
        window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
    }, 0);
}

Following up on the responses received:
I have tried what you have told me but it continues to put me on the same line

/* Corrected */

var data = "Hola";

data += "\r\n"; // salto de linea
data += "que";
data += "\r\n"; // salto de linea
data += "tal";

var filename = "net_view_cmd.txt";
var type = "text/plain;charset=utf-8";


        var a = document.createElement("a"),
                    file = new Blob([data], {type: type});
                if (window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob) // IE10+
                    window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(file, filename);
                else { // Others
                    var url = URL.createObjectURL(file);
                    a.href = url;
                    a.download = filename;
                    document.body.appendChild(a);
                    a.click();
                    setTimeout(function() {
                        document.body.removeChild(a);
                        window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);  
                    }, 0); 
         }

    Some time ago that problem with line breaks in Unix also happened to me, I solved it with \r\nprobe in Windows and it kept working. Replace in your code \nby \r\n, being like this:

    var data = "Hola";

data += "\r\n"; // salto de linea
data += "que";
data += "\r\n"; // salto de linea
data += "tal";

    .

  2. Add \nwhere you want the jump...
    Ex.

    var data = "linea_1\nlinea_2\nlinea_3";

    For your example:

    var data  = "Hola";
    data += "\n"; // salto de linea
    data += "que";
    data += "\n"; // salto de linea
    data += "tal";
