removing \n and get a new line

pavanponnapalli

hi,
I have got a text as under:
he is a good boy \n he works hard \n and he plays well \n

I need to remove the \n in the text and get a newline instead. How is it possible using regular expressions?

Use search and replace option: s///
For ex. if you are reading from a file and substitute '\n' in each line with newline(\n)

1. s/\\n/\n/g;
2.

1. open(F,"data.txt") or die "$!";
2. while(<F>) {
3.   s/\\n/\n/g;
4.    print $_;
5. }
