Detailed Description

Number of characters in a string

The LengthOfString term gives the number of characters in a String.

Important: This term shall only be used for ASCII-CODE characters!

Note: Inside the The OTX-runtime the data type String handles bytes independently of the encoding used. If used to handle sequences of multi-byte characters (such as UTF-8), all operations, such as LengthOfString, will still operate in terms of bytes and not the encoded characters! E.g. StringUtil.LengthOfString("€"); returns 3 and not 1, because "€" consists of 3 bytes in UTF-8.

Syntax
IntegerTerm = StringUtil.LengthOfString(StringTerm string);
Examples
// Local Declarations
Integer Integer1;
// Flow
Integer1 = StringUtil.LengthOfString("emotive company");
