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

Len("YourString")

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!

Thanks for that.

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

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

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