I need to print text on more than 1 line using \n in the string to go to the next line and I need to read the text from a text file. I am using:

TEXT* message_txt =
{
pos_x = 0;
pos_y = 0;
layer = 2;
font = arial2_font;
string(mes_str);
flags = SHOW;
}

to display the text.

Now if I us the str_cpy function to copy a string containing \n using:

str_cpy(mes_str,message_str);

If message_str is created in the program with:

STRING* message_str = "This is a\n test";

it works OK. eg.

This is a
test

However if I load the string from a text file with:

var filehandle = file_open_read ("test.txt"); // test.txt contains the string "This is a\n test"
file_str_read(filehandle,message_str);
file_close (filehandle);

and then use the str_cpy to copy to the TEXT panel.

It will print "This is a\n test" and not

This is a
test

Any solution?
