Issue while using force line break

Hi @SA8888, have a look at this script. I've made a function that tries to solve this problem.

Let me know if it works for you.

    Get Paragraphs
    for Adobe Illustrator

    Illustrator treats linefeeds as carriage returns,
    so when you ask a TextRange for paragraphs, it will
    give you too many. This function trys to solve this.

// example usage:
var paras = getParagraphs(app.activeDocument.selection[0]);
$.writeln(paras[0].contents);
$.writeln(paras[0].lines[1].contents);
$.writeln(paras[0].constructor.name);
$.writeln(paras[1].words[3].contents);


function getParagraphs(obj) {
    if (!obj.hasOwnProperty('story'))
        return
    var story = obj.story,
        text = story.textRange.contents,
        findCarriageReturns = /\u000D/g,
        lastStart = 0,
        paras = [],
        para;

    // add paras between carriage returns
    findCarriageReturns.lastIndex = 0;
    while ((findCarriageReturns.exec(text)) !== null) {
        para = story.textRanges[0];
        para.start = lastStart;
        para.end = findCarriageReturns.lastIndex - 1;
        paras.push(para);
        lastStart = findCarriageReturns.lastIndex;
    }
    // add last paragraph
    if (
        findCarriageReturns.lastIndex > 0
        && findCarriageReturns.lastIndex <= text.length - 1
    ) {
        para = story.textRanges[0];
        para.start = findCarriageReturns.lastIndex;
        para.end = text.length - 1;
        paras.push(para);
    }
    return paras;
}
