Untested:

Code:

While Var contains `n
{
StringReplace, Var, Var, `n
}

If not that maybe

Code:

n_ := "`n"
While Var contains %n_%
{
StringReplace, Var, Var, `n
}

Does this work ?

Code:

fileread, chopthis,%a_workingdir%\DownloadedCasts\%plist%
stringreplace,chopthis,chopthis,%RowText%,
; Remove all blank lines from the text in a variable:
Loop
{
StringReplace, chopthis, chopthis, `r`n`r`n, `r`n, UseErrorLevel
if ErrorLevel = 0 ; No more replacements needed.
break
}

fileappend,%chopthis%,%a_workingdir%\DownloadedCasts\%plist%

Have a look at examples in the help for stringreplace

RegEx solution:

Code:

NewString := RegExReplace(OldString,"\R+", "`r`n")

Not sure if you want that `r there.
