It's always just a newline in strings.  I guess you mean you want the \n
in a file written:

09:14:10 [temp]: irb
irb(main):001:0> File.open("x","wb") {|io| io.puts "foo\nbar"}
=> nil
irb(main):002:0> exit
09:15:51 [temp]: od -t c x
0000000   f   o   o  \n   b   a   r  \n
0000010
09:15:56 [temp]:

Kind regards
