Hmm, if MOGRTS are really limited that way, the only workaround that =
comes to my mind is that you use another separator symbol for the =
linebreaks.
So the user, for example, enters=20
=E2=80=9CThis is line one and#this is line two and#a third one=E2=80=9D
using the # symbol instead of a line break and then
in the expression you do
lines =3D txt.split(/#/);
instead of
lines =3D txt.split(/\r|\n|\x03/);
such that it splits the text at the # symbol instead of at actual line =
breaks.
