text in a varable to a number?

[Andrew Parsons]

Thanks in advace.

Lets say i had the text

abcde

in the varable alp1

instead of abcde how do i convert that to another varable with the number characters in alp1 (so for this example it would be 5)

Anyhelp would be much appricated.

Try the length command

Like so...

Code: Select all

Let>alp1=abcde
Length>alp1,Length
MessageModal>Length
