A mistake in 3 simple lines!

Here goes. For this project, you need a textbox called Text1 (Multiline=True), and button called Command1. Under the button, write the following lines:

VisualBASIC:

Private Sub Command1_Click()     MsgBox Len(Text1.Text) End Sub

Now run the program. In the textbox, type in the following text:

code:

123 456 789

From my understanding, Len(Text1.Text) should be 11 because there are 9 digits and 2 returns, but when I press the button, it gave me 13. Any explainations for that?

just a thought, but maybe a space counts as one character and enter counts as two, in which case 13 would make sense

Yeah, I suspect it is because each new line represents two characters. For example, if you'll notice, the vbNewLine character is actually made of two characters. Thus, 9 letters plus 2*2 vbNewLine = 13

Welcome to the wonderful world of Windows. A newline is actually both a carriage return and a linefeed.
