Imacros unterminated regular expression literal

I want to remove duplicate empty lines in the extracted text

I've tried these:

set title eval("var b='{{!extract}}'; var s = b.replace(/\n\s*\n/g, '\n'); s;")

set title eval("var b=\"{{!extract}}\"; var s = b.replace(/\n\s*\n/g, '\n'); s;")

but the result is the same:

SyntaxError: unterminated regular expression literal, line 10 (Error code: -1001)

What am i doing wrong?

I'm not sure what end result should be, but to fix the error you just need to escape the backslashes.

Since it's being eval, you need to basically double-escape all backslashes:

eval("var b='{{!extract}}'; var s = b.replace(/\\n\\s*\\n/g, '\\n'); s;")
