[bug-obsolete-packages] problem with GAWK/gsub when substitute new lines

[shaledova]

Hi,
This list may be the right place to post my question?
I tried to use gawk to perform some text conversions. But I could not
substitute new lines (\n) using gsub such as:
gsub(/\[[\n]*\]/, "");

For example, if I have a file containing:
<"Week Report" [



]>

I want to convert these lines to:
<"Week Report">

What is wrong with the expression?

Thanks for your help,
Rita
