How do I print new line characters from a text file

[grimreeper132]

Simple question I am reading a line from a text file which contains \n's and when I print the string it doesn't print the \n as a new line but as "\n" how do I change this into a newline. 

 

 

Line 1 is what I get, Lines 2-5 is what I want. (I did this manually to get the desired output)

 

EDIT: Just found out why it's doing it, it is turning /n into //n so I need to find //n and replace it with /n, any suggestions on how to do this

Sorted, encase anyone was wondering it's

string.replace("\\n", "\n");

If you want the reason as for why this is happening it is because your \n are not real \n they are literal text of a slash plus and n. For the string object in memory it manually escape the slash to NOT count it as a new line so it's actually \\n and not \n.
