[logback-user] How to prevent logback/slf4j from parsing a new line character

I'm using logback with SLF4j for logging in my application. I have a string that contains a new line character. It is part of the string value but doesn't signify a new line. When I print the string, logback prints it in a new line. How to prevent this ? Code: String str = "george\nmason" logger.info(str); Logback pattern: <pattern>[%d{dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss,SSS}] [%5p] [%X{sid}] [%-20C{0} %25M]:[%-4L] - %m%n</pattern> Expected: [19 Feb 2015 20:19:27] [ INFO] [] [myClass myMethod]:[52 ] - george\nmason Actual Output: [19 Feb 2015 20:19:27] [ INFO] [] [myClass myMethod]:[52 ] - george mason http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28616286/how-to-prevent-logback-slf4j-fro... Appreciate any help. Thanks Santosh
