[Rails] Re: Counti lines in Textarea / Wrap Hard not Working ?

[Fabian]

I saw inside the firebug. The value of the field ("texto") is : " example line 1 \r\n line 2 without enter \n line 3 with enter" So I conclude that the "wrapped" lines return with "\r\n" mark. No problem but my original function splits by "\n" mark: lines = texto.split(/\n/).size if texto !=nil But Oooooppppssss the result is again 2. Split function only work with "\n" mark alone. Do not when then "\n" mark have a folk mark "\r" by it side ? I am preparing to kill "\r" marks.....(only inside the "texto" field...) Another suggestion ?

In the log you should see something along the lines of this, but with the data from your form in it. This is extracted from my log. Processing NotesController#create (for 127.0.0.1 at 2009-06-12 17:00:57) [POST] Parameters: {"commit"=>"Create", "note"=>{"date(1i)"=>"2009", "date(2i)"=>"6", "date(3i)"=>"12", "max_present"=>"", "text"=>"Some text", "obj_ids"=>["47", "85"], "location_id"=>"23", "is_present"=>"1"}} You are still top posting by the way.

Colin Colin Law escribió: 2009/7/30 Fabian <fabia...@gmail.com>: As I posted earlier, I want to count lines in a text area. I use the following function lines = texto.split(/\n/).size if texto !=nil But fails when one line of text "wraps" automatically to the next line so no "\n" mark is returned into the text. So i found the "wrap" attribute of textareas that works this way: soft hard off Soft forces the words to wrap once inside the text area but when the form is submitted, the words will no longer appear as such (Line breaks will not be added). Hard wraps the words inside the text box and places line breaks at the end of each line so that when the form is submitted it appears exactly as it does in the text box. Off sets a textarea to ignore all wrapping and places the text into one ongoing line. So I insert it in my txtarea definition like this: <%= f.text_area :texto, :cols => "30" , :style => "whiteSpace:pre-line;", :wrap => "hard" %> Nothig happens. The count line was the same. Any suggestions ? Have you checked the html generated (View, Page Source or similar in browser) to check the option has been coded correctly?
