[Closed] Counting lines in a string(stream)?

Hi,

I’m working on something that requires me to know the lines of text in either a string or stringStream. Right now I have this:

	line_counter = 0
  	seek txt_whole 0
  
  	while 1 != 2 do 
  	(
  		try
  		(
  			skipToNextLine txt_whole
  		)
  		catch exit
  		line_counter += 1
  	)
  
   
   	print ("Lines: " + (line_counter as string))

[font=Verdana]In this case txt_whole[/font] is the following stringStream:

rollout test "Untitled" width:320 height:312
  (
  	editText edt3 "" pos:[16,32] width:288 height:112
  	editText edt4 "" pos:[16,184] width:288 height:112
  	label lbl1 "Output:" pos:[24,168] width:40 height:16
  	label lbl2 "Input:" pos:[24,16] width:40 height:16
  	button btn1 "Code it" pos:[112,152] width:88 height:24
  	on edt3 entered text do
  
  		global txt_test = edt3.text

But it seems to count the lines double. It returned 18 lines here…

I could divide by two or something but I wonder what the cause is and if there’s a more elegant solution.

Thanks,
