The following works for me under windows
ExifTool "-iptc:caption-abstract<$iptc:caption-abstract$/-$/$filename" <FILE>

The output is

Code Select

Starting Caption

I'm using $/ to insert a new line, you might check FAQ 21 (http://www.exiftool.org/faq.html#Q21) for other ways to insert a new line.

Of course, there might be other ways.
