[rules-users] trouble adding newline to DSL

[Matt Geis]

Hi,
I'm having a really strange scenario.  I have a DSL entry that I need to expand onto two lines. When I write it as plain DRL, on a single line, the rule fails.  When I separate it into two lines, it passes.  The problem is that I'm having issues getting my DSL to insert a newline char into the drl it generates and split my resulting rule into two constraints.

Here's what I want to do... (assume the '\n actually works)

[condition][]offer with code "{offer}" and no accounts present where {constraints}=rd: RuleData(offerId == "{offer}", uc : userContext) \n not ( Account(where {constraints}) from uc.accounts)

if you put the value into a DRL rule like this, it works: 
rd: RuleData(offerId == "{offer}", uc : userContext)
not ( Account(where {constraints}) from uc.accounts)


put it in like this... it fails
rd: RuleData(offerId == "{offer}", uc : userContext)  not ( Account(where {constraints}) from uc.accounts)


I know that in a regex, the backslash is special, just as it is in replacement strings in Matcher.replaceAll().  What I can't figure out is how to split that line.  I've tried 1, 2, 3, 4... up to 8 backslashes, and nothing works.  I either get an assertion failed at the end of my test, or I get "unrecognized token" on the \ or the n .

Can someone point me in the right direction?  Or, just tell me how to make the rule work all one one line!

Thanks in advance,
Matt
