length Property
The length property stores an integer indicating the length of the string.
Syntax
stringVar.length
Returns
Not applicable
Usage
The length of a string can be obtained by using the length property. For example:
var string1 = "No, thank you.";
TheApplication().RaiseErrorText(string1.length);displays the number 14, the number of characters in the string. Note that the index of the last character in the string is equivalent to
stringVar
.length -1
, because the index begins at 0, not at 1.Example
This code fragment returns the length of a name entered by the user (including spaces).
var userName = "Christopher J. Smith";
TheApplication().RaiseErrorText( "Your name has " +
userName.length + " characters.");
