RadEditor Character Count Mismatch

[Education]

The RadEditor on screen Character Count doesn't match the character count when accessing RadEditor1.Text.Length on a postback.  How can I access the count that is displayed to the user as they are entering text?

Below is an example:

Screen shows 21 characters, but when doing RadEditor1.Text the result is :"0123456789 \n0123456789"
This has a .Length of 22 characters.

Hi,

Please try the following code snippet to achieve your scenario.

C#:

string editortext = RadEditor1.Text;
int count = editortext.Split('\n').Length - 1;
int len = (RadEditor1.Text.Length) - (count * 2);

Thanks,

Is there any way to just pull that exact character count value from the control?

I used something similar to your solution:
int newLineCount = RadEditor1.Text.Split('\n').Length - 1;
int characterCount = (RadEditor1.Text.Length - newLineCount);

The proposed solution only works when it is a new line, but there are many other escape sequences that would need to be accounted for, such as \t.  I was hoping for a solution that would always match the character count displayed on screen no matter what was entered into the RadEditor content box.

Hi,

Please have a look into the sample code snippet which works fine at my end. The above posted code is working fine for me.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server">
</telerik:RadEditor>
<telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server" Text="Get Length" OnClick="RadButton1_Click">
</telerik:RadButton>

C#:

protected void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string editortext = RadEditor1.Text;
    int count = editortext.Split('\n').Length - 1;
    int len = (RadEditor1.Text.Length) - (count * 2);
}

Thanks,
Princy.
