Find Lines of Paragraph

[Tomas Bumbulevičius]

Hey Ramiro, few questions:

1. How big your area text box is in relation to comp size?
2. How many lines it fits until reaching the boundaries, being full sized?

As far as I remember, if text-area box contains more text & lines than it can fit, those lines disappear at the bottom. With that said – downscaling it won’t help.

It’s smaller than the comp. About half size.
It’s meant to only fit a max of 4 lines.

What I need is the text box to automatically tell a slider how many lines the box is currently holding. Whether it’s 1, 2, 3 or 4.

Divide the internal source rectangle height by line spacing and round to nearest integer and you’ll have the number of lines. Since you can’t read line spacing with an expression, you have to use a variable that matches the line spacing value.
