Question TextMeshProUGUI.text.length but for visible characters only?

Hey folks,

The title is terribly written but conveys exactly what I'm asking about. Is there a way for me to get the length of text, in terms of characters, that excludes all of the rich text parses? I'm animating maxVisibleCharacters of a small paragraph. The animation starts at 0 and goes until it reaches the textObject.text.length, but that value is much greater than the actual visible characters, making my audio loop stop far off.

Thanks!

I guess not.
