Count the number of lines in a Java String
- by Simon Guo
Need some compact code for counting the number of lines in a string in Java. The string is to be separated by \r or \n. Each instance of those newline characters will be considered as a separate line. For example,
"Hello\nWorld\nThis\nIs\t"
should return 4. The prototype is
private static int countLines(String str) {...}
Can someone provide a compact set of statements? I have solution at here but it is too long, I think. Thank you.
