Len Function
Returns the number of characters in a string or the number of bytes required to store a variable.
Len(string | varname)
Arguments
- string
Any valid string expression. If string contains Null, Null is returned.
- varname
Any valid variable name. If varname contains Null, Null is returned.
Remarks
The following example uses the Len function to return the number of characters in a string:
Dim MyString
MyString = Len("VBSCRIPT") ' MyString contains 8.
Note
The LenB function is used with byte data contained in a string. Instead of returning the number of characters in a string, LenB returns the number of bytes used to represent that string.
