detect how many characters I paste to clipboard

[232showtime]

is there a function or command in autoit that can detect how many characters I paste to clipboard?

because I have 31 characters to getdata in clipboard and sometimes I have 30 characters to getdata in clipboard.

Func Copy()
    If WinActivate("[CLASS:XLMAIN]") Then ;copy from excel
        Send("^c")
        Sleep("100")
        Send("{DOWN}")
        If WinActivate("[CLASS:CabinetWClass]") Then
            ControlClick("[CLASS:CabinetWClass]", "", "[CLASS:DirectUIHWND;INSTANCE:1]")
            Sleep("100")
            If ControlSend("[CLASS:CabinetWClass]", "", "[CLASS:DirectUIHWND;INSTANCE:1]", "^v") Then;paste to active cabinetclass
                Local $iResult = _ClipBoard_GetData($CF_TEXT)
                $fResult = StringLeft($iResult, 31)
                ControlSetText("[CLASS:TFrmMain]", "", "[CLASS:TEdit; INSTANCE:1]", $fResult)
            EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>Copy

Something like this :

StringLen (ClipGet() )

[SorryButImaNewbie]

Bit less (I mean more, much more less) elegant solution can be that you simply write the clipboard to a MsgBox, read and check the string there and then kill the MsgBox

Something like this :

StringLen (ClipGet() )

yes but, excluding the whitespaces, without whitespace..

StringStripWS

Feed the result into StringLen

thanks..

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>

Local $sString = StringStripWS("1 2 3 4 5.", 8)
$iLength = StringLen($sString)
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The length of this string is " & $iLength & " characters.")
