		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Command requires param.")
		return TRUE
    end

	local file = io.open("news.txt", "w+")
	file:write("\n    ### SERVER NEWS ###\n - ".. os.date("%d / %B / %Y - %X ", os.time()) .."-\n\n--> "..param.."\n\n### POSTED BY " .. getPlayerName(cid) .." ###\n")

Nice work,

[Summ]

Well nice done. I wanted to make a similar script and searched the function io.open, because I lost the name xD.

But I am a bit disappointed.

How can I do that if I write: /addnews Hi\nWelcome Guys
The \n isn't written and does a new line.
