Length of a String

Hello there,

is there some way to determine the length of a string in SQF, like in programming (e.g. length(aString), wich returns an Integer)?

Thank you! :)

Updated answer: With a3 you can count string length

count _str

old answer:

This might be helpful

Tho it's old I guess since the toArray function is already implemented

So this might be easier:

_str = "HELLO";
_len = count (toArray _str);
hint str _len;

_str = "HELLO";
_len = count (toArray _str);
hint str _len;

Thanks, that does the job! Still strange though that you can count an array but not a string...
