Getting the number of lines (entries) in a textarea widget

I've printed a list of filenames in a textarea widget.

I want to see how many filenames are in the widget.

When I call GetNumberOfLines() or getNumberOfLines(), they both return 1.

Is there a way to query the widget to actually get the number of items printed ?


thanks
