How to retrieve the number of used “/n”

[chen young]

Hi,

Is there a way to retrieve the number of used “/n” in a string?
For example if I have the following string:

--------------------------------------------- START SCAN server.log.1 ---------------------------------------------

2009-01-20 09:48:35,667 [kit]DEBUG

The original was like this: --------------------------------------------- START SCAN server.log.1 ---------------------------------------------+“\n”[phone]:48:35,667 [kit]DEBUG+”\n”

Used “\n” = 2

Thanks

use string.split with the -1 parameter
