LEN returns a long value specifying the number of characters in a string, or the number of bytes required to output a variable. The optional parameter, ''string'', is any valid string expression. The optional parameter, ''variable'', is any variable, if variable contains a string the length of the string is returned. One (and only one) of the optional parameters, ''string'' and ''variable'', must be supplied.

Len(string | variable)

Description

Len returns an integer specifying the number of characters in a string, or the number of elements in an array.

Example (Basic)

Rem Len Example
'Len returns string length or variable size
Dim Frog, Survived
Frog = "Staring"
Survived = 2
Print "Len of Frog:", Len(Frog)
Print "LenB of Frog:", LenB(Frog)
Print "Len of Survived:", Len(Survived)

Output

Len of Frog:  7
LenB of Frog: 7
Len of Survived:     1
