Depends on what "broke" means.  I'm going to go out on a limb and guess
that the problem now is that you get no newlines at all, because they've
been stripped off of the line you read and .write doesn't put it back
on, in which case you should be adding " *\n" instead.  If that's not
it, then reply hazy, please concentrate and ask again.
