hi Tom,

backslash sequences are not interpreted in sec actions, but you can
use builtin action list variables instead. In order to insert the
newline character into the 'pipe' action string, use the %{.nl} action
list variable. You can also refer to it as %.nl, but since in your
case letters would be following the variable name, curly braces are
necessary for disambiguation.

Should you need other special characters in your action lists, the
complete list of all builtin action list variables is provided in the
"Actions, Action Lists and Actoin List Variables" section of the
official documentation: http://simple-evcorr.github.io/man.html#lbAI

hope this helps,
risto
