I'm afraid it's not that simple. The number of lines in a textarea
does not necessarily represent the number of newline characters. You
are right that your solution should work for a <textarea wrap="off">
in MSIE and FireFox, although that will not qualify as valid X/HTML.
The original poster should first be clear whether or not the text in
his <textareashou ld wrap.
1) If yes:
Read out the number of columns with [obj].cols as to split the content
accordingly, but only if the wrapped string must be considered as
multiple lines. In the other case, use a.value.split(" \n").length.
2) If no:
Use a.value.split(" \n").length.
In both in cases, the textarea must be set with the right wrap
attributes/CSS as to achieve a maximum browser compatibility.
Hope this helps,

As for actual lines, independent of presentation:
textarea.value. split(/\r?\n|\r/).length

In addition to what others have written, ISTM that there is a question
of whether blank lines within, before, or after non-blank lines should
be counted.

.... where a blank line not always is an empty line.

In your example,
t.value.split(/\n*/).length
is the same as
t.value.length
minus the number of newlines in 't', because a split on '\n*' can be
semantically read as "splitting on a newline that is repeated zero or
more times".

Hi all.
I'm trying to write a program that:
1) Ask me what file I want to count number of lines in, and then counts the
lines and writes the answear out.
2) I made the first part like this:
in_file = raw_input("What is the name of the file you want to open: ")
in_file = open("test.txt","r")

Does anyone know of a utility or VS add-in to count code lines in a
project or solution? I just had to provide 50 pages of code for
copyright and had initially thought that would be nearly the entire
program only to discover that I had over 60 pages of code in just two
classes.
So now I'm curious how many lines of code are in the project...
Thanks in advance for any information.
