strange problem with "\n"

[KagerA]

I'm trying to write info to a text file, everything is fine, but i can't move to the next string. "\n" just adds an unkown symbol (something like [] ) to the output file.

local newFile;
if fileExists("loot.txt") then 
		newFile = fileOpen("loot.txt")
else
		newFile = fileCreate("loot.txt")
end
if newFile then
fileSetPos(newFile,fileGetSize(newFile))
outputChatBox("test");
fileWrite(newFile, "Santa \n")
fileClose(newFile);
end

this problem is so weird but i just don't know what to do with it) I tried to change formats to .xml or .lua, didn't work.
