If I understand what you’re saying, you have a document with contents that
looks like this:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
This is Line 4
Etc.
If that’s so, this AppleScript should do it:
use AppleScript version "2.4" -- Yosemite (10.10) or later
use scripting additions
tell application "BBEdit"
set theDocument to document 1
set theContent to contents of theDocument
set theText to text of theContent
set theParagraphs to every paragraph of theText
repeat with aParagraph in theParagraphs
set myNewDocument to make new document
set contents of myNewDocument to text of aParagraph
end repeat
end tell
It’s possible to make this a shorter script but written this way it’s easier to
understand.
