llStringLength

Summary

Function: integer llStringLength( string str );

0.0	Forced Delay

Returns an integer that is the number of characters in str.

• string

str

Caveats

• The index of the last character is not equal to the string length.
  • Character indexs start at zero (the index of the first character is zero).
• llStringLength() gets the number of characters, not bytes
  • LSL-2 sees all strings as UTF-8
  • LSL-Mono sees all string as UTF-16
  • Both UTF-8 and UTF-16 use multibyte characters
• Some communication functions (e.g. llHTTPResponse) are limited by number of Bytes, and work with UTF-8 strings
  • To quickly find out the number of bytes (in UTF-8), you can use llStringToBase64 (see also snippet there)

Examples

<source lang="lsl2"> // assumptions: // object name: LSLWiki // script name: _lslwiki

default {

   state_entry()
   {
       string HowLongAmI = "123";
       integer strlen = llStringLength(HowLongAmI);
       llOwnerSay( "'" + HowLongAmI + "' has " +(string) strlen + " characters.");
       // The owner of object LSLWiki will hear 
       // LSLWiki: '123' has 3 characters.
   }

}
