Syntax

result = LenB( string )

result = stringVariable.LenB( )


Parameters

string

String

Any valid string expression.


Return Value

Result

Integer

The number of bytes in string.



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
