Is it possible to know the number of lines of a box text?

I don’t think there’s a direct way, but you might be able to deduce it from the value of sourceRectAtTime(time,false).height, assuming you know the leading value. This seems to work pretty well:


leading = 30;
L = thisComp.layer("text");

h = L.sourceRectAtTime(time,false).height;
if (h == 0){
n = 0;
}else if (h < leading){
n = 1;
}else{
n = Math.ceil(h/leading);
}
n
