Formatting Strings in TextField JavaFX

In my JavaFX application I am trying to format a String and then push it to TextField.

This is my code:

String result = "No of Rows Returned : " + repairHeaderEntities.size();

            if(null!=repairHeaderEntities && repairHeaderEntities.size()>0){
                result = result + "\n" + "\nRepair Status Code: "+entity.getRepairStatusCode();

analyzeResult.setText(result);

analyzeResult is the TextField fx id.

But in the output I am getting the following:

No of Rows Returned : 1Repair Status Code: ENDE

As you can see there output is not moving to a new line and is coming up in the same line.

From the documentation for TextField:

Text input component that allows a user to enter a single line of unformatted text. Unlike in previous releases of JavaFX, support for multi-line input is not available as part of the TextField control, however this is the sole-purpose of the TextArea control.

Use a TextArea in place of the TextField.

If you do not want the user to be able to edit the text in the text control, you could also consider using a Label instead.
