In this example we show you a way to count the amount of lines in a string
Example
We use a while loop to count the lines in string.
We check the index of sentence is equal to -1. If the condition is true, then execute the statement and print the number of lines in the string.
using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
namespace ConsoleApp1
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
long count = lineCounter("This is \n a \n text \n string as an \n example");
Console.WriteLine("Number of Lines in the String : {0}", count);
Console.ReadLine();
}
static long lineCounter(string myString)
{
long count = 1;
int start = 0;
while ((start = myString.IndexOf('\n', start)) != -1)
{
count++;
start++;
}
return count;
}
}
}
Lets see a test run
Number of Lines in the String : 5
