Question
Newline using "\n"
Does pega support "\n" for newline? I want to add a newline to a property and I can't use "\r\n" because of requirement constraints. I tried "\n" on a java compiler and it worked. But in pega it is not adding a newline by using property-set method or java method.
'\n' is not adding new line when written to a file. I'm writing to a .dat file. Please refer attached screenshots below.
Hi Sarthak,
Tried the same use case which you showed in the screenshots and the output is being stored with the new line functionality in the text file. As you are viewing the file content in Notepad you are not able to see the text in the new line, try to open it in advance editor like Notepad++ then you can view it as expected.
Hope this helps you.

Mahesh
Thanks a lot Mahesh. It would have taken me forever to figure that out.
Hi,
Pega will support \n and all other escape characters.
Here is the proof:
1.Created activity to test
2.Here is the result - clipboard page:
And the java output is below:
