NumLine()

Returns the number of lines in an ASCII formatted character string.

Syntax

NumLine( <cText>, [<nLineLength>] ) --> nLineCount

Arguments

<cText>

This is the ASCII formatted character string to process.

<nLineLength>

Optionally, the line length for formatting can be specified as a numeric value. It defaults to 80 characters per line.

Return

The function returns the number of lines needed to output an ASCII formatted text string (fixed font).

Note:  the tab character (Chr(9)) is counted as a single character. If it exists in a text string, the text should be converted with TabExpand() before NumLine() is called.
