number (characters)
Usage
the number of chars in chunkExpression
Description
Chunk expression; returns a count of the characters in a chunk expression.
Chunk expressions are any character (including spaces and control characters such as tabs and
carriage returns), word, item, or line in any container of characters. Containers include field cast
members and variables that hold strings, and specified characters, words, items, lines, and ranges
in containers.
Note: The count() function provides a more efficient alternative for determining the number of
characters in a chunk expression.
