Help with breaklines on PlainTextEdit

Black Cat

Why the PlainText was not accept the break line of the text file? Someone know some solution for this?

text.txt content = hello\nworld

        with open('text.txt') as x:
            y = x.read()
        self.shell_host.insertPlainText(y)

        string = 'hello\nworld'

        self.shell_host.insertPlainText(string)

Output:

eyllanesc

@Black-Cat In the .txt you have 12 characters since "\n" is 2 characters but "\n" is a character (carrier return). A possible solution is to replace those 2 characters with the one you want:

with open('text.txt') as x:
    y = x.read()
y = y.replace("\\n", "\n")
# or
# y = y.replace(r"\n", "\n")
self.shell_host.insertPlainText(y)
