@mounika32 ,

Try the .length in a new line then check if it returns proper value or not

var linesArray = itar.split('\n');

    // Get the count of lines

    var linesCount = linesArray.length;

Thanks,

Please try below:

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