HI\003\HIUL\003\HIJ\003 

You don't want to replace \n with <carriage return>, but with the <line feed> (newline, ^J, 0x0A) char to produce your desired output. So use Yoda's proposal. With <CR>, your output would look like
Code:
HI\003\HIUL\003\HIJ\003

as the two first lines would be overwritten!
