Okay guys, had to do a bunch of returns to forced line breaks tonight in Applescript. So for the record, here's a way...



set myText to "" & contents of selection 
--The key to speed is to use an "every ... whose" clause to make a list of characters to replace! 
if myText contains return then 
	set myReturnList to {} & (index of every character of selection whose contents = return) 
	repeat with i from 1 to length of myReturnList 
		set character (item i of myReturnList) of selection to forced line break 
	end repeat 
end if



Hope this saves time for anyone having to tackle this in AS. I wasted a couple hours getting to this point from the thing that SHOULD work but doesn't (ie, search selection for return replacing with forced line break). :-\
