I'm trying to pull useful information out of a nessus report file (which

portions. They're stored with string literal \n, and I can't figure out
an easy way to convert those to actual newlines. With tr, the best I can
get is removing all the n's

tr converts single chars to single chars, or deletes single chars. sed would probably work. "sed -e 's/\\n/\n/g' < infile > outfile" will do what you want, I think.
