Using Escape Characters for text in your game

Hey Everyone,

I'm sure that it is extremely possible to put in escape characters such as \n - newline and \t - tab.  However, when I put in the escape characters in the Sprintf function (the Ruby counterpart of printf in C), RMVX can not recognize the character and replaces it with a question mark inside of a square.  An example can be found below.

string = sprintf("string\nanother string")

Output should be

string
another string.

Any help would be appreciated.
