I did at least seven years ago. I shall see if I can find the reference
in my old notebooks tomorrow. Unfortunately one has gone missing so I
might not have the reference.
I do however wonder if the newlines really are newlines and not some UTF
multibyte character that looks like a newline when you parse it as
ASCII/ISO-8859-1 or some other legacy encoding?
In my experience you have to try really really hard to actually get a
newline into a file name. Mostly because the GUI will interpret pressing
the return/enter key to think you have finished typing the file name
rather than inserting a newline into the file name.
