Alternate Entry Name: .LENGT
B: number_of_chars = length( string );
/* C users use "strlen" */
LENGTH returns the number of characters in "string". For example,
test = "123456789*n"; ltest = length(test);
would result in "ltest" being assigned the value 10 (remember that '*n' is a single character).
