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///

s/\\n/\n/g;

For ex. if you are reading from a file and substitute '\n' in each line with newline(\n)

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