Matching paragraph with line breaks Regex

What regex can I use to match a paragraph (including line breaks) so when I use split(), I get an array with each sentence as one element?

Something like this:

JavaScript

I have that regex that returns ["one potatoe↵two apples↵", "three onions", ""] but what I’m looking for is ["one potatoe", "two apples", "three onions"].

Thanks for the help!

EDIT:

Each sentence is separated by a line break. So after one potatoe there’s a line break (hit return) and then comes two apples, line break and three onions

Answer

I understand you want to get each line with text with as many adjacent line breaks as follow it.

It will be easier to use match instead of split:
