I'm trying to make a multi-column textbox but I'm winding up with 2 text boxes for 2 column.. BUT that's ok..
The problem is parsing the text for column 1 & column 2... I can definitely String.slice(start, end) or String.substring() the text but how would I parse the string by line of text and not by number of characters? Doing the former will create weird splits.
thanks.
more info: the text is html text with varying point size and breaks so I can't mathmatically figure out 'line of text' by number of characters.
