If the string really does include the character SEQUENCE "\n" then simply searching for the CHARACTER '\n' will not find it but will find a newline character. This is because '\n' is simply a convenience for producing the 0x0A (newline) character value -- it's not conceptually two separate characters. Note that you could create the character SEQUENCE "\n" by assigning the literal "\\n" to a String variable, or by reading the two sequential characters '\' and 'n' from some external medium.
You do need to be aware that some interfaces will automatically convert a "\n" sequence to a newline character, and make sure you don't inadvertently cause such a conversion -- once "\n" has been converted to newline then there's no way to tell the difference.
