How to replace "\n" in AppleScript?

Question

I want to replace "\n" in Applescript. Whenever I write that, it just brings whatever is after \n to the next line. How do I do that?

set newVar to my replaceText("\n/blah-blah", "")

EDIT:

set newVar to my replaceText(linefeed, "", newVar)
log newVar

newVar still prints with \n towards the end.

Found this solution to your problem, Go to preferences-->Editing and check Escape tabs and line breaks in strings
