Hello,

I've read this manual https://www.scirra.com/manual/126/system-expressions

and search the meaning of len, but i still didnt get the meaning of.

it says like this,

[quote:209fq3w0]len(text)

Return the number of characters in text.

Could anyone describe it to me, please?

len("hello") = the number of characters (letters including spaces) in text = 5

so len("text plugin") = 11

Hard to explain further. It counts the number of individual characters, e.g.

Different example using a variable to RamPackWobble.

If you had a variable called 'howmany' that had a text string of "countme", then

len(howmany) would return 7
