An "unrecognized selector" error generally means one of two things: you've mis-spelled the method, or you have tried to use a method that belongs to some other class. The latter applies here.

Your problem is that textStorage holds an object that is of a subclass of NSMutableAttributedString, but replaceOccurrencesOfString_withString_options_range_ is a method for NSMutableString. Strings and attributed strings are unrelated classes.

So you can use a string instead of textStorage, say textView's |string|(), and make a mutable string from it. Or you can just coerce to an AppleScript string, and get the count of paragraphs. But I wonder if the variable name theRange means you're after something else entirely, which might explain the puzzling reference to a backwards search.

If what you're after is actually the offset or location of the returns, you're going about it the wrong way...
