With the line of code:println("This is the first line\n\n\nAnd this should be three lines down");
I should get the following output:
**This is the first line
And this should be three lines down**
However I get this:
This is the first line
And this should be three lines downWhy aren't the multiple newline escape characters creating multiple newlines?

Try adding "\r\n" for each newline, or try adding an empty space " \n \n" before each newline.

None of those methods worked. The first one (\r\n) returns an error and I can't add spaces at the beginning of lines. What I'm trying to do is to create a script that generates Python code. I would like to be able to leave empty lines to separate bits of code. But Python is very strict with space indenting lines.
Shouldn't the \n\n\n work? Is it a bug? -

As far as I know, \r is a valid escape sequence for Python and other programming languages.
\r\n = CR+LF
On a typewriter, LF would move the line down, and CR would move the cursor position back to the left. -

Well, I know that those are supposed to be carriage return + linefeed. But I'm generating the string in COFFEE. When I use that string as a Python script, all the \n are treated as one

Why not put a comment marker(#) where you want a blank line? It's not quite whitespace, but it's almost as good.
println("This is the first line\n#\n#\nAnd this should be three lines down"); -

simply put a space in between them:

The problem with adding spaces is that Python is very picky with spaces at the beginning of lines. Indentation define code blocks. I guess I will have to use comments.
But why can't I set multiple newlines without adding a character to each line?Rui Batista

Oh I haven´t seen that you want to output python code. haven´t used python yet so I think I cannot be of much help but isn´t python intendation tabbed and not spaced?

Ok, then, how about an invisible tab?
" \n"
If that doesn't work, then try writing your escape sequences in hex form, "\x0a". -

Well, the "\n " works, kind of... however, I read somewhere that Python prefers indentation based on spaces instead of tabs.

println should only be used to print a line into the console. If you want to print several lines you have to call println for each line.
