Replace newlines in Google Doc

Question

Cannot find and replace newlines in a Google doc.

This works (just showing that I have a body, and can replace):

bulletinBody.getBody().editAsText().replaceText("x","y");

These do not work:

bulletinBody.getBody().editAsText().replaceText("\\n","y");
bulletinBody.getBody().editAsText().replaceText("\\r","y");

Any help would be appreciated!

This worked for me~

  let doc = DocumentApp.openById('***')
  let body = doc.getBody()
  let children = body.getNumChildren()
  while (children) {
    children -= 1
    let item = body.getChild(children)
    if (item.getType() == DocumentApp.ElementType.PARAGRAPH) {
      if (!item.asText().getText()) {
        item.merge()
      }
    }
  }
