set myOffset to offset of (ASCII character myAscii) & " Departing

The first offset command finds a match >1 but I run it the result
(second offset command) is 0 ???
ASCII character myAscii is 63. When I look at myText in the replies
pane of AppleScript Editor what I see is
/n Departing
If I say
set myOffset to offset of "/n Departing 0" in myText
the result is 0.
Any ideas as to what is happening or what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,

Michael,
"\n" is a return character. Its ascii number is 10.
So try
set myOffset to offset of (ASCII character myAscii) & (ASCII
character 10) &" Departing 0" in myText
adjust for spaces if necessary
If you want you can go to preferences and turn off the "Escape tabs
and line breaks in strings" in the Edit tab.
Hello Deivy
The OP wrote that the script returned myAscii with the value 63 which
means a question mark.
This is why in my test I inserted a question mark just before the
searched string.
I don't understand how the "/n" may appear in such a case.
