I need to count the number of lines in a large string. The value is stored as a global constant.
The following used to work:
lineCount = CountFields(AllQuestions,chr(13))
Now lineCount = 1, suggesting there were no chr(13)'s found. AllQuestions.len checks out, though, so I know the value is being accessed correctly.
Issue started after two things happened:
- upgraded from Xojo2015_3.1 to Xojo2015_4.1. The project was originally written in RB2011, but compiled without a problem in Xojo2015_3.1.
- changed one character typo in AllQuestions. I didn’t touch the line breaks.
As part of troubleshooting, I’ve tried cutting and pasting the whole text block from a plain text editor; maybe there is an encoding mismatch? I don’t think a TextInputStream would help because the string is stored in the program, not read from an external file.
