Is there a way to quickly break a single text box into multiple text boxes?

Does your type layer contain blank paragraphs?

Anyways, keep in mind that the resulting type layers will have identical type properties and disregard variance.

So if you had one line in a different font that would be ignored (the font, not the line).

I tryed the code running Photoshop 2024 and just return 'Array', so I fixed it.

Here is the new version guys. Enjoy:

// split lines from active typelayer;

// makes sense if the type properties are uniform;

// 2014, use it at your own risk;
// 2024, update code to new photoshop versions and add 'How to Use' Comments;

/* How to use:
  - Create a Text Layer with all the text with break lines
  - Select the layer
  - Go to File > Scripts > Split Text Lines
  - Enjoy!
*/

#target photoshop

if (app.documents.length > 0) {

  var myDocument = app.activeDocument;

  var theLayer = myDocument.activeLayer;

  if (theLayer.kind == LayerKind.TEXT) {

    // get text an dleading;

    var theText = theLayer.textItem.contents.split("\r");

    try {

      var theLeading = theLayer.textItem.leading;

    }

    catch (e) {

      var theLeading = theLayer.textItem.size * 1.2;

    };

    var theOffset = 0;

    // work off the array;

    for (var m = 0; m < theText.length; m++) {

      // duplicate layer, change its contents and move it;

      var theNewText = theLayer.duplicate(theLayer, ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE);

      theNewText.textItem.contents = theText[m];

      theNewText.translate(0, theOffset);

      // amend offset;

      theOffset = theOffset + theLeading

    }

  }

};
