LenB Function

Returns the number of bytes in the specified String.

Syntax

result = LenB( string )

result = stringVariable.LenB

Parameters
string	String	Any valid string expression.

Notes

LenB treats string as a series of bytes, rather than a series of characters. It should be used when string represents binary data. If you need to know the number of characters in string rather than the number of bytes, use the Len function.

Examples

This example uses the LenB function to return the number of bytes in a string

Dim n As Integer
n=LenB("Hello world") //returns 11
