Keep the first lines of a text and say how many were left out.
text.limit_lines
In a flow
“Works out limit lines whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
5 lines, keep 3 → "a\nb\nc\n…and 2 more"
What it does
Keep the first lines of a text and say how many were left out. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: keep the first lines of a text and say how many were left out.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
