LENGTH - return the length of a string.

Alternate Entry Name: .LENGT

Usage:

B:
   number_of_chars = length( string );

/* C users use "strlen" */

Description:

LENGTH returns the number of characters in "string". For example,

test = "123456789*n";
ltest = length(test);

would result in "ltest" being assigned the value 10 (remember that '*n' is a single character).
