Yes, what you can do is use the assignment

 NumOfTextLines := LineCount(DisplayText@"Thedisplayiconwithtext")

where  "Thedisplayiconwithtext"  is of course the display icon that contains
your text.
This will put the number of lines of text contained on your display icon
into the variable
NumOfTextLines.
