counting occurrences of end of line

Question

I have some string with text, I want to count all occurrences of Environment.NewLine.

I thought to something in a way like

MyString.Where(c => c == Environment.NewLine).Count();

But c is only one char so it will not work .

Any better suggestions ?

With Regex:

int count = Regex.Matches(input, Environment.NewLine).Count;

With String.Split:

int count = input.Split(new string[] { Environment.NewLine },
                      StringSplitOptions.None).Length - 1;
