Find line break into text field

[Axristos]

Hi everybody,
i have a movie clip with 2 text fields (one input and one Dynamic). The user types something into the Input type textfield and by pressing a button this text moves to the Dynamic Textfield.
I use this to do it:

code:

---

on(release){

_root.dynamic_text += _root.input_field + "\n"

}

---

Then from this dynamic text i want to find where there is a line break (\n) to perform an action (like add something).
Does anybody knows how to do it?

code:

---

posn = _root.dynamic_text.indexOf('\n');

if (posn > -1) {

  trace("position is " + posn);

}

else {

  trace("line break not found\n");

}

---

Other string functions you find useful are substr() and split(), both of which can be used to manipulate and insert things into the string.
