Regsub with Newline character

[Jerry Tilsley]

All,

Is there a way to get regsub to insert the actual newline character?  I have tried

Code:

regsub $data {n} newdata

but this just causes it to place the string “n” in the file.

Thanks,

Jerry

Nevermind, I figured it out.  Had to change it to the following:

Code:

regsub $data “n” newdata

The braces were the issue causing the characters to be interpreted litterally.
