Bash shell: Appending a newline after each input in a *.txt file

Question

I am trying to save a list of numbers from 1 to 10 in a text file in bash, each on it's own line.

This is the code I used:

echo "1" >> test.txt
echo >> test.txt
echo "2" >> test.txt

When I call my file with cat test.txt , it prints out the numbers exactly like it needs to:

=> OUTPUT:

1

2 

etc...

But when I open the .txt file outside of bash, the information is saved as: 12345678910

Answer 1

This does what you want

for i in `seq 1 10`; do echo $i >> test.txt; done

But trust cat over "Windows Notepad" and switch to Notepad++, Atom, Sublime, etc.
