Count Lines in Text
Count the lines in a list, a block of addresses, a CSV, or any line-structured text — plus paragraphs and the rest.
Overview
Some text is measured in lines, not words: a checklist, a list of addresses, rows pasted from a spreadsheet, a block of config. This loads a multi-line checklist so the line count is the headline, alongside paragraphs, words, and characters. When each line is a record, the line count is the record count — and a quick way to confirm nothing was dropped on a paste. It is the metric word counters skip and line-structured text depends on.
Workflow
-
Paste the lines
A list, address block, CSV rows, or config.
-
Read the line count
Lines as the headline, with paragraphs and words beside it.
-
Confirm the records
When each line is a record, the count confirms nothing dropped.
Why This Works
