Cheers everybody!
Subject tells it. In my app, which uses PurePDF, I need to know precisely how many lines were actually printed by the pdf_MultiCell cmd. I tried dividing pdf_GetStringWidth() by the cell width, but this result is inaccurate with longer strings.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

you can use nl as it counts the newlines inside ipf_MultiCell(), except the last chunk where you have to add one nl + 1

Sorry, I don't follow. Which command can I use to count the number of lines in the pdf? nl() doesn't exist on my PB...

I understand, what i meant was the variable called nl.l inside the procedure ipf_MultiCell().
I have already implemented something for you, please see if it works for you.

It works, but it always returns one too many. So when there was only one line printed, I get 2, and so forth...
