How do I know the number of new lines in a textbox ?

Hi !

I have a textbox with some text and some new lines.

Is it possible to know how many lines are currently used ?

edit : how, a regex on \n, simple as this.

edit : no, it wasn't.

The regex works if the user has pressed enter to create a new line, but not if a new line is created automatically.

Any idea ?

What about something like: tokencount(TextBox.Text,newline)

RegexMatchCount(TextBox.Text, "(\r\n|\r|\n)", "g")=tokencount(TextBox.Text,newline)

...because needs separator...if you set TextBox as TextArea and when you start typing

just press "a" and hold down..you dont have separator.....you just wrap text....

..........I think <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused">

you also need to to set Max.Characters per line ...and count characters in line...

On text change add to Var.Characters... 1

Var.Characters= Max.Characters .....set text ..to text&newline....set Var.Ch=0

..also need to set Var.Ch=0 when Var.Lines change if you press Enter...

Would be easier with monospace fonts. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

korbaach, your example doesn't work, it doesn't add a new line when a new line is automatically created.

By the way it seems there is no simple solution as such a new line triggers no event.

I guess the simplest solution would be this one : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/164 ... a-textarea

what's wrong with this?..............I'm confused

It doesn't work if you put some spaces

Ok...Now I'm even more confused

This works exactly the way I want...counts all lines..even empty lines....

Perhaps I did not understand exactly what you want

Ah ! Okay ; I mean, it doesn't work when copy pasting.

But don't bother to fix this, you did an amazing job, thank you

Thanks and you're welcome — le Canapin !
