TextLength(text)

Returns the number of characters in text string «text».

When a non-text value is passed in, the value is first coerced to text. This coercion uses the number format of the object that contains the expression. When Null is passed, returns zero.

Examples

TextLength("Hello world") → 11

TextLength("啕晦") → 2

TextLength( Pi ) → 5 { With suffix 4-digits, Pi becomes "3.141" }

TextLength(Null) → 0
