how many lines in a field

[domino1352]

Is there a way of progamatically tallying how many lines are used when text data is displayed in a screen, I need to account for word wrapping and new lines so I know when to insert a page break on a dynamicaly created document..
thanks

Found a way Which works in R6 (uses the new split function)


'<snip>
Dim richText As New NotesRichTextItem(docsource, "temp")
Call richtext.AppendText( docsource.TSDescription(0))
'if field not RT so copy field to one that is
plainText$ = RichText.GetFormattedText( True, noofchars)
'has all the new lines in it ending in a CR
FieldArray = Split(plainText$, Chr(13))
'char 13 is Carriage Return
Print Ubound(FieldArray) +1 'bingo here is the number
'</snip>


Just put it here for anyone else who might be stumped on the same thing
