I'm using TGF. I know there's a built in function in MMF but I don't like to use MMF. So does anyone know how to get the length of a string in TGF?

find half it's length, and double it.
and on the subject of your avatar (noticing the plea in your sig), you may want to actually upload it. it's reading "not found" on the server.

Im not sure about TGF, but there is a get len (len = length) feature.
Len( string$( "Cash" ) )
Your code should look something like that, this expression will return 4, because "Cash" is four characters long.

Len( string$( "Cash" ) ) will not work as you are converting a string to a string its just Len("cash")

The string$ function doesn't convert numbers to strings, that's str$, string$ gets the alterable string of a string object so it would work, providing that string existed.

Len() gets the length of a string in the expression editor if your using MMF. If you dont have MMF you'll need to download the String Parser object (as was previously mentioned) which can be done from www.pluginx.com (Plugin Central).
