Replacing new lines in mlTextEdit with \n

I'm trying to get all the text in an MLTextEditCtrl onto one line. I'm sure there is a command or something to replace all the returns with a \n but I just can't remember it. Just to make sure you know what I mean, i want to turn:

Into Blah\nText\n\nHere. Thanks.

Well I meant for ingame, actually. Exporting the text to a file, closing the game, search and replacing the contents and then re-opening the game isn't very user friendly, if you know what I mean ;)

Dude, it's ExpandEscape(%text);.

And to undo it, it's CollapseEscape(%text);.

i would edit the TDN article to include the following note, but every time i edit something in TDN the whole entry collapses so, note: it replaces all occurances of the needle, so it's pretty much exactly what you want.

highlight the carriage return itself,
and do replace-all.
