String.paragraphs(N)

This function extracts the first N paragraphs of the referenced string or String-type attribute. Examples:

$MyString = "Paragraph 1\nParagraph 2".paragraphs(1) 

In the example the "\n" simulates a line break. The code would set $MyString to the string "Paragraph 1".

$Text = $Text(Some note).paragraphs(2) 

In the second example the current note's $Text would be set to the first 2 paragraphs of note "Some note".

To get a single given paragraph of a multi line/paragraph string, such as $Text, see String.split().
