I'm trying to create a text file that's UNIX friendly and can't figure
out how to get a new line "\n" written to the text file from the script.
As a couple people said, "ASCII character 10" is the works-anywhere
solution. As of version 1.7, AppleScript supports "\n" in strings
directly, just like "\r", so you could do something like this:
write "This is\r a Mac line ending" to mac_file
write "This is\n a Unix line ending" to unix_file
Scripts compiled using "\n" will work correctly with older versions of
AppleScript, though the \n won't be visible when you view the source.
