Given a string string, what is the fastest/most-efficient way to count lines therein? Will accept best answers for any flavour of Rebol. I\'ve been working unde
hehehe the read/lines length? temp is a great thing I though about read/lines -> foreach lines temps [ count: count + 1]
another way to do it would be to do
temp: "line 1 ^M line2 ^M line3 ^M "
length? parse temp newline ; that cuts the strings into a block
;of multiple strings that represent each a line [ "line 1" "line2" "line3" ]
:then you count how much strings you have in the block with length?
I like to code in rebol it is so funny
Edit I didnt read the whole post so my solution already waas proposed in a different way...
ok to amend for my sin of posting a already posted solution I will bring insight comment of a unexpected behavior of that solution. Multiple chained carriage returns are not counted (using rebol3 linux ...)
>> a: "line1 ^M line2 ^M line3 ^M^M"
== "line1 ^M line2 ^M line3 ^M^M"
>> length? parse a newline
== 3
