I need a program which will read a large paragraph from a text file. It will then output the same paragraph onto a new file. In the new one, each word will be on a new line.
I have a working portion, which simply copies the text from one file onto the other, it does not however, make it line by line.
code:
file = open("C:/Users/XXXX/Desktop/Program/Input.txt","r")
output = open("C:/Users/XXXX/Desktop/Program/output.txt","w")
for line in file: 
    output.write(line)
file.close()
output.close()

I tried using the \n suffix, but it crashes the program.

What is the message when the program crashes?

This bit of the code works, but I can't figure out what I need to add to make it write line by line.

So what goes wrong when you try to append \n to the end of the lines?

Perhaps inputting your string, splitting it into seperate words (String array), then writing to your file by iterating through your array would work better?
