This should do it:

/(?:[^\r\n]|\r(?!\n))/g

This matches either any character except \r and \n or a single \r that is not followed by \n.

you can use the negative delimiter !

so (?!(\r|\n))

try that

or this maybe

.+?(?!(\r|\n))

As an alternative suggestion why not avoid regexp?

var newText = oldText.replace("\r","").replace("\n","");

This will return the string removing all the instances of \r and \n
