I have an Angular 5 application and I have a text area input in one of my component html, where the user can type in various characters. I would like to calculate the message segment count from the user entered characters . Any idea how I can do it?

There is this post Calculate SMS Length/Parts C#, however I am not able to convert the code to typescript.

Maybe [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/42710344/863110) could help. It's not in typescript but the difference here between javascript and typescript is negligible. – Mosh Feu Jul 08 '19 at 16:01
its showing forbidden bitwise operation . export const smsSegmentCalculator = (text:string):number => { let byteLen = 0; for(let i=0;i – knowledgeseeker Jul 08 '19 at 16:33
What do you mean `its`? Who is `its? – Mosh Feu Jul 08 '19 at 16:38
@Mosh Feu in my vss code editor it is showing the error [tslint] Forbidden bitwise operation – knowledgeseeker Jul 08 '19 at 16:48
Where did you get the code you posted in the comment? – Mosh Feu Jul 08 '19 at 16:50

Ok. And if you [ignore tslint](https://palantir.github.io/tslint/usage/rule-flags/) is it working? – Mosh Feu Jul 08 '19 at 19:42
I would like to add that the code in the related question doesn't work for all characters in messages, so it's probably not the best idea to copy it! – Christian Davén May 24 '23 at 07:59
