Finding nr of "new-line"-characters in string

Question

Hi!
I looking for a smooth way of achieveing the number of "\n" characters in a string.
e.g.
String tmp = "There is a house\n in New Orleans, \n they call the Rising Sun\n";
This string should return number 3 (three occurrences of the '\n' character.
How ?

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this but it works ok,
String tmp = "There is a house\n in New Orleans, \n they call the Rising Sun\n";
java.util.StringTokenizer st = new java.util.StringTokenizer(tmp, System.getProperty("line.separator"));
int counter = 0;
while(st.hasMoreTokens()) {
     st.nextToken();
     counter++;
}
