Hi.
That works for "simple" fields which may contain soft-wrapped lines -
but it doesn't account for styled text (e.g. where different lines may
be different font sizes (or even mixed sizes), or where paragraph
spacing has been set, or .... all the complex kinds of text we can now do.
but for situations where those complexities can be avoided, it is much
simpler and faster :-)

Hi.
Make two small fields, both with lineWrap set to "false". Line up the two
field horizontally. Put some wrapped text into vld 1. Put this in a button
somewhere:
on mouseUp
lock screen
put fld 1 into storage
replace return with return & numToChar(208) in fld 1
put fld 1 into workingText
put the formattedText of fld 1 into temp
put 1 into line 1 of lineCounter
put 1 into lineTracker
repeat with y = 1 to the number of lines of temp
if line y of temp contains numToChar(208) then
add 1 to lineTracker
put lineTracker into line y of lineCounter
end if
end repeat
put storage into fld 1
put lineCounter into fld 2
end mouseUp
I needed to pollute the source field in order to use the formattedText and
identify the hard returns.
