[Rails] Re: varchar size for a blog post

[Fabian]

Thanks, but This is the way I already use. It doesn-t works for the lines you type over the size (in columns) of the text area. In  this case, the text wrap on the next line but no mark "\n" came with it. In this cases we will get the count of 1 line and inside the text area we will visualize 2 lines.

The only detail is about te text don,t include any controls ("\n" or "\l\n") for the lines was auto-breaked into the text area of the form. I want to count the number of lines of this text area, but my code fails because I am counting "\n" marks. I know this looks like an "HTML" issue (not Rails) but all suggestions will be appreciated.

The column type you want (at least in mysql, sqlite3, postgresql etc) is called text FredAlso, as I understand it the migration t.text (or t.column :text) will map to an appropriate column type for the database being used (i.e. for Oracle the column would be clob). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
