I am creating a python movie player/maker, and I want to find the number of lines in a multiple line string. I was wondering if there was any built in function or function I
If newline is '\n' then nlines = x.count('\n').
'\n'
nlines = x.count('\n')
The advantage is that you don't need to create an unnecessary list as .split('\n') does (the result may differ depending on x.endswith('\n')).
.split('\n')
x.endswith('\n')
str.splitlines() accepts more characters as newlines: nlines = len(x.splitlines()).
nlines = len(x.splitlines())
