Is there an easy way to count the number of Characters in a string.

Thanks

Les
 
Just to clarify, Len("YourString") will return 9, since it's counting the
number of characters in the literal "YourString".

If you have a variable that contains the string value you want to check,
you'd use Len(nameofvariable)
 
Where, of course, you would replace 'nameofvariable' with the name of your
own variable!

Just to be sure you get what you want, recognize that the Len function also
counts spaces.

Len("MyString") = 8
Len("My String") = 9
 
Thanks

Les, I think you now know all there is to know about the Len() function!
