RichTextBox prints new line upon receiving a certain character

I'd like to know if it is possible for the richtextbox or textbox multi lines to print in a new line upon receiving a certain character like "Z"?

I'm having a big time problem in getting values from a richtextbox. My microcontroller is sending a string in a non-constant speed to the C# program so any way that I use to extract the numbers from the string in a richtextbox is useless I think.

If my circuit sends this kind of string: Sensor1: 0.10 meter/s \nSensor2: 0.50 meter/s and then the c# program receives it and detects the \n, the next characters/string will be printed in a new line until it detects the another \n.

Is this possible? if not, what way can I use?

Assume you have a RichTextBox Control named RichTextBox1. Just replace your \n with ControlChars.Lf

Code in Visual Basic

RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text.Replace(ControlChars.Lf, "\n")

Code in C#

RichTextBox1.Text == RichTextBox1.Text.Replace(ControlChars.Lf, "\n")

You need to reference Microsoft.VisualBasic, parent of ControlChars.Lf. That goes without saying.
