Hi Jeffrey,

Okay, I'm stumped...Q. How does one force returns (carriage return+line
feed) when using this shortcut for codecs?

This doesn't seem to work for me:

            file.write('-------------------------------------------\n')
            file.write('%s\n' % item_title)
            line2 = string_triageStatus.upper() + "  " + string_date + "
             " + item_dateSource + "\n"
            file.write('%s\n' % line2)
            file.write('%s\n\n' % item_body)

I get a "smoosh" (technical term) in my text file with no returns/line
feeds.

Thanks much, Andre
