Counting string length

[Guest]

Hello all,

I'm trying to count the characters in an element of an array using this code:

mySetLength = mySet(mySetIndex).Characters.Count

But it doesn't work. I've made sure there's actually something in mySet(mySetIndex) when it crashed by removing the .Characters.Count part, and it all checks out. Any idea how to do this correctly?

Thanks in advance.

Try

mySetLength = Len(mySet(mySetIndex))

Try LEN, like this:


MySetLength = Len(MyArray(MySetIndex))

Many thanks to both of you. Can't believe I never found that Len() function while looking through the help. That works great.
