I am trying to use the script called on process tab to parse a text field to replace \n characters to <br>. I added the following code, which works:
$test = preg_replace("/\\n/","<br>", $ingredients_local);

I save the code, then go back and edit, and the code looks like this:
$test = preg_replace("/\n/","<br>", $ingredients_local);

Again, if I save and go back the code changes:
$test = preg_replace("/n/","<br>", $ingredients_local);

With each edit, another backslash is eaten. I am sure I am not doing something right, i.e. do I need to canonicalize the string? Has anyone encountered this, and if so, how did you get it to work?

Thanks!
