Is it possible to get the amount of lines on a TextBox?
I am going for a Monaco type theme, where I place a number next to the text to make referencing errors easier.
The reason I want to know is because I am making a game for beginner scripting, where you can join to learn the basics and try them yourself.

What I would personally do is to make a different TextBox for each line,place them in a Folder and use Folder:GetChildren() to count the amount of lines with text in them.
Example:
local lines = script.Parent.Folder
local count = 0
for _, line in pairs(lines:GetChildren()) do
if line:IsA("TextBox") then
if line.Text ~= "" then
count = count + 1
end
end
script.Parent.LineCount.Text = tostring(count)
end
Hope this helps!

Sadly, this does not work for what I am trying to pull off. I would use this method, but I need to check the text they put in as one string. DetectiveRaie 193 — 3y
