Length                   Returns the Length of a String

 Length(Source : <string>) : Integer;                                    [TP]

    Returns the current (as opposed to the maximum) length of the string,
    Source.

          Source    Any string value (constant, variable, function call or
                    expression).

           Note:    Since the length is stored in Source[0],
                    Length(Source) = Ord(Source[0]).

  -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

           Name := 'Rufus P. Jones';
           I := Length(Name);       { I gets assigned 14 }
