Function diary does not change line in the text file

I write the following code,

diary Log.txt
disp('Hello!');
disp('World!');
diary off

The command window displays as follows,

Hello!

World!

It is correct.

But when I open the text file Log.txt using Notepad, the saved history shows as follows,

Hello!World!

It is wrong! The saved history in the text file does not change lines as the command window does.

But when I open the text file Log.txt on another computer also using Notepad, the saved history shows as follows,

Hello!

World!

It is correct.

Could anyone tell me what the problem is?

I suspect that you are opening the file using Notepad, which does not know about Linefeed alone as a delimiter. You should use a more modern editor.

[Ryan]

Yes, I open the file using Notepad.

But when I open the text file Log.txt on another computer also using Notepad, the saved history shown is correct.

It is very confusing.

You should probably consider the suggestion from Walter. I personally prefer Notepad++, as that has many features, while still being a fast basic file reader.

Another option, since you're using MATLAB, is to open the text file in the MATLAB Editor.
