Description
This function returns the number of characters contained in string$ or container$$. In the case of an empty string, zero is returned.
Note:
To determine the maximum number of characters that can be put into a string variable, use:
SIZEOF(stringVar$) - 1
The maximum number of characters allowed in a container is theoretically 2 gigabytes, but is normally limited by available memory.
