countFields bug?

Getting Started

Hi…

I’m really not understanding if i’m doing some big mistake, or something is really wrong…
this is my code:

Dim totalLinhas As Integer
totalLinhas = texto.CountFields(EndOfLine)

i’m getting “totalLinhas=1” !!!

this is part of my text:
?PHP
// Cabeçalho para exibir erros (remova em produção)
ini_set(‘display_errors’, 1);
ini_set(‘display_startup_errors’, 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

and this is the start of the hexcode…

as you can see, there are a lot of RETURN

why the countFields is not working?

Thank you guys!

Your text’s lines may not be delimited by the EndOfLine character from your app’s platform. Try this before you try to count the lines:

texto=ReplaceLineEndings(texto, EndOfLine)

That will guarantee that your lines all end with the proper character.

i never needed to do this before. is it need to do now?

This is from Documentation:

Usage

result = EndOfLine

Part Type Description
result String The end of line String for the platform being compiled.

@Eric_Williams provides a good advise.

Right. But there’s no guarantee that text from any source will actually use the platform’s default line ending. Plenty of apps let you save files with whatever line ending you wish.

It’s always been necessary. You’ve just been lucky with how your inputs are formatted.
