Hello! This is my 1st time here, so let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
I have recently had the idea to make a autocorrect which can read multiple lines at once, but I don’t know how to read more than 1 line of text at a time! Can someone help? That would be really appreciative!

Welcome!
If you want to have multiple lines in a texbox, set it’s TextWrapped property to true. That will allow it to write across multiple lines as text gets longer. If you also want it to write from the top left (as text usually does) you can set the TextXAlignment to Left and TextYAlignment to top.

You only need to read the text from a single textbox this way and it works exactly the same as before.

Don’t you just want the MultiLine property then? There’s nothing stopping you from using TextBox.Text to read multiple lines. Unless you mean that you want to convert that text into a string without new lines, then you can use:

local text = string.gsub(TextBox.Text, "\n", "")

no i mean like a table of the lines, and what the line said

You can use string.split() in a similar way then:

local TextRows = string.split(TextBox.Text, "\n")
