return the length of a string

 

Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

Length( s )

Parameters

s

-

string; the string whose length is to be computed

Description

• 

The Length command computes the length of the string s. This is the same value as is returned by the global length command, but it accepts only strings.

• 

All of the StringTools package commands treat strings as (null-terminated) sequences of 8-bit (ASCII) characters.  Thus, there is no support for multibyte character encodings, such as unicode encodings.

Notice that, like length, the Length command counts the number of bytes in the string, not the number of characters.
