    Checking for carriage returns in a text layer

    Posted by Dennis Cheung on March 19, 2020 at 9:46 pm

    Hello again

    How do I count the number of carriage returns in a text layer? I thought it was the same as looking for a certain word or character, but I’m not getting the result I’m looking for.

    Thank you for your time

    How did you search for a certain word?

    Try this:

    thisLayer.text.split("\r").length-1
