Oh! Literal backslashes and literal "ens"! What the devil?
Well, you could edit it with "vi" and use
:g/\\n/s//(CTRL-V)(ENTER)/g
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For the underlined part, actually press "CTRL-V", and then the ENTER
key (it'll echo like "^M"). The "CTRL-V" means "interpret the next key
literally--don't act on it like a command".
That is a global find and replace that will look for the two character
sequence "backslash-en" and replace each occurance of it with a single
newline character. This text:
each\nof\nthese\nshould\nbe\non\na\nseparate\nline\n
would look like:
each
of
these
should
be
on
a
separate
line
using that command. I think that's what you want.
