Bonjour Bernard,

Here is one way with regular expressions.

Note that {2,} allows for 2 or more occurrences 'new line'. You can adapt to your specific need, or simply use (\\n\\n). Also note that you may have to try with '\\p' or '\\r' depending on how the new line is coded in the original text.

set theText to " aaa

aaa

tell application "TextCommands"

set theNewtext to theText as Unicode text

set the theNewtext to (search theNewtext for "(\\n){2,}" replacing with "\\n" with regex)

end tell

theNewtext

HTH,

Michael

I have written a simple cleaning search replace TextEdit script, using the excellent TextCommands osax.

I would like to add a double CR, by a simple one, replacement, to this script.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thx in advance.
