Hello @mounika32 

Please use this-

var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
gr.get('3fc5485497433110cf05f8971153af79');
var itar = gr.variables.software_requirements.toString();
var linesArray = itar.split('\n');
var lineCount = linesArray.length;
gs.info('Number of lines in the multi-line text: ' + lineCount);

Mark  Correct if this solves your issue and also mark  Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

User might have entered extra 'ENTER' so it is adding extra line at the end.

You can use logic like below:

var current = new GlideRecord('change_request');
current.get('fdbce3f72f323110ae17debcf699b65c');
var itar = current.variables.existing_itar_objects.toString().trim(); // use toString() to change it to string
var lineCount = itar.split('\n').length;
gs.info(lineCount);

Hi @Anil Lande , Its working now when I add the trim it returns the correct count.

Thank you for your help😀
