How "Not to Select" line break with triple click?

Question

I have a huge amount of copy-and-paste text with headings, paragraphs and different styles. I'm selecting a line of text with triple click. It works ok but it also selects the invisible line break character at the end of the line. So when i paste new text over the selected one the following text comes at the end of it and i have to hit enter every time to put it back to where it was.

Is there a way "not to select" the line break character with triple click?

Using a KB shortcut associated to something "simplistic" like that to select, placing the cursor in text, all the para without the carriage-return! … 😉

var ip = app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].insertionPoints;
if ( app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].characters[-1].contents == "\r" ) ip.itemByRange(0,-2).select();
else ip.itemByRange(0,-1).select();
