I am using multitail to monitor logs while I program. I really like this tool. However, it is hard to use it to view object output in a php error log because new line characters \n are not processed. Does anyone know of a way to achieve this?

On idea that I'd had was to use the regex to do a replace, but I think that's not possible here. – fraxture Oct 30 '15 at 14:40

combining the answer for tail:
tail -f file | sed 's/\\n/\n/g'
with the -l option in multitail:
multitail -l "tail -f file | sed 's/\\\n/\\n/g'"
note: the additional escape on the \n
extra hint:
(will color all files and merge them into one multitail window):
multitail -C fileUNfiltered -L "tail -f file | sed 's/\\\n/\\n/g'"
