Len (string$)  

Definition:

Returns the number of characters in a string.

Parameter Description:


string$ = any valid string variable

Command Description:

This will let you determine the length (number of letters, spaces, characters, numbers, etc) inside a string. You can use this to ensure the player enters the right number of letters (like 3 letters for a high score table). Quite useful for 'string parsing' with other commands.

Example:

name$="Shane Monroe"
Print "There are " + Len(name$) + " characters in your name!"
