[Help] guiSetSize of a label.

[roaddog]

So I got a label which is in a scrollpane, and This label is gonna be filled by a txt file which has many lines.

and then I place it, but The text didn't really fill them up, the buttom just get wrapped out.

See this picture if you dont get what I mean by wrapped out.

You see it, the text isnt really finished. I need to calculate it, and then the offset will be used to set the size of it.

Thankee.

Normally size of this font is about 13 px. So

( 13 + 2 ) * n 

2 is for break behind lines

n is number of lines.

[roaddog]

What do you mean by break behind lines?

The label is just 1 block, not that each line for each label

[WhoAmI]

Doesn't matter, you see that when you type "\n" it is doing break. It's about ~2px.

Oh alright then.

Yes. due to the height's of label cant go highter than 600, I need to split the file into tables by lines. and make a label for each lines, is that alright?

[roaddog]

Please, Anyone?

I know how to seperate a string into a table by space.

to seperate a string by new lines, how to do that, what is the character class?

s = "hello world from Lua\n Another line, I believe" 
 for w in string.gmatch(s, "%a+") do 
 print(w) 
 end 

[Et-win]

s = "Hello|World" 
table = split(s, "|") 
for placeNumber, stringData in ipairs(table) do 
    outputChatBox(stringData) 
end
