strlen( ) function issue

Former Member — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 00:41:23 GMT

i use strlen function to get string length.

but some time the strlen can't work when the string contain unicode char.

so when i write field+0(len) can't show all information.

how to get right length?

Use STRING data type in STRLEN and also check your program attributes with "Unicode checks active" is checked.

Hi,

Function STRLEN only works with character-type fields and returns the length in characters. The new function XSTRLEN finds the length of byte strings.
