[asterisk-users] How to escape characters in Dialplan

[Dominik]

Hello,
excuse my unknowing question, but how can I open the dialplan in hex-mode? 
What file is it? Normaly, my dialplan ist read in textmode from 
/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf. Sure, I can insert a new line with a hex-editor 
into the textfile, but then the line got wrapped:
WARNING[1450]: pbx_config.c:1519 pbx_load_config: No closing parenthesis 
found? ' SendText('    

Maybe, is there a way to put new line into a variable? 

Set(VARIABLE='\n') also don't work. But maybe I can read a \n from a file into 
a variable (with an agi-script)?


Thanks,
Dominik
