I am trying to count the number of lines in a text field. I can count the words by counting the number of blank spaces, but what does FM use for line breaks?

FM uses the carriage return symbol

Use "

(And quick on the trigger, we might add...)

What I am trying to do is get around the 10 page limit for printing. I have some of these going to 30+ pages and the doctors and nurses are tired of doing a c/p. So what I need to do is split up the data in the field into different fields like theField1, theField2 etc and then print them.

So now that I can count the lines, I need to break up the data based on the count. Got a quick script for that? (I'll be off trying different things just in case).

You could use calculation fields like:

field1: Left( text, Position( text & "

Ahhhh that does the trick. I was doing something similar in my trials. This is just a little cleaner than the roundabout way I was going at it.
