count the amount of characters

[Berend Jan]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if it is possible to count the amount of characters that you have on your clipboard. This because i need to edit the content of the clipboard and for that I need to know how many characters are there to adapt my script to.

f.e.:

Geld: 918,663

or

Geld: 300,918,663

When I edit these numbers with the backspace function in notepad the two possibilities will get a different output. The long version (Geld: 300,918,663) will be fine. Though I need to get the small version (Geld: 918,663) going as well. I'd like to get something like this:

If $characters > 15 Then
        _Bank1()
Else
        _Bank2()
EndIf

This is how i edit the numbers now:

Send ("^c")
Run ("Notepad.exe")
    WinWaitActive ("Naamloos - Kladblok", "", 5)
    Send ("^v")
    Send ("{LEFT}{LEFT}{LEFT}{BS}{LEFT}{LEFT}{LEFT}{BS}{LEFT}{LEFT}{LEFT}{BS}{BS}{BS}{BS}{BS}{BS}{BS}{BS}{B


S}{BS}{BS}{BS}")
    Send ("^a")
    Send ("^c")

I hope you guys can help me out here.

ClipPut("I am in the clip board")

MsgBox(0,"", "Clip board contains: " & StringLen (ClipGet()) & " characters." & @CRLF & "Clip board: " & "'" & ClipGet() & "'")

If StringLen (ClipGet()) > 15 Then
   MsgBox(0,"","There are more than 15 characters in the clip board.")
Else
   MsgBox(0,"","There are less than 15 characters in the clip board.")
EndIf
