Newline not working?

Hi, I would like to count the number of lines in a textbox.

I thought "tokencount(Mytext.text, newline)" would do the trick, but apparently not.

Does anyone have an idea how to count the number of lines in a textbox?

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Works for me.

Can you post a screenshot or capx?

It doesn't work because that are word wraps (soft breaks), not newlines (hardbreaks). Word wraps are not in a string that is a formatting feature of the software

which shows the string.

There is a workaround. Try

floor(Text.TextHeight/(Text.FaceSize+round(Text.FaceSize/3)))

TextHeight: the real height of the text in the textbox (in pixel).

FaceSize: Font size (in pixel).

Problem is, you have free space between the text lines, my guess was 1/3 of the font size. but this could vary (size , font itself). No clue if this always correct.

Asmodean You sir! Are a life-saver! This is perfect for the few lines I will be using!

Thank you so much for this help :) I am not a coder really, and just muddling through. So there is no way at this stage of my ability, would I had figured that out by myself! Very kind of you to take the time :) I owe you one my friend!

Actually, this is perfect. A little tweaking of the line height and I got it working great for an entire page of text if needed. All depends of the font size / line height. You have no idea how helpful this is! My hero! :)
