Question

I want to replace “\n” in Applescript. Whenever I write that, it just brings whatever is after \n to the next line. How do I do that?

set newVar to my replaceText("\n/blah-blah", "")

EDIT:

set newVar to my replaceText(linefeed, "", newVar)
log newVar

newVar still prints with \n towards the end.

Answer 1

This should catch them all:

set oldText to "line 1
line 2
line 3"

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return & linefeed, return, linefeed, character id 8233, character id 8232}
set newText to text items of oldText
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {" "}
set newText to newText as text

using “blah\n” as oldText
