Re: Search & Replace multiple Paragraph returns

tell application "TextCommands" -- [1]
    search NewsItem for "[\\r\\n]+" replacing with "\\r" with regex
    set NewsItem to the result
end tell

I am unfamiliar with what the + sign does.

In English, has's search pattern "[\\r\\n]+" can be read as "one or more returns or newlines". So every instance of "one or more returns or newlines" is being replaced by a single return.
