number of characters in a string?

[Eli]

How do I count the number of characters in a string?

what I want is

if 'string character count' > 10 then

msgbox(0, "", "NO")

or........

can I limit an input to a certain amount of characters? and limit the entry to numbers only?

StringLen()

Damn Sean.. You are all over the place today... This is a good day to quit smoking for me (no need to try and help anyone!!)

An example

$len = StringLen("How long am I?")
if $len > 10 Then
MsgBox(0, "", "NO")
EndIf

IsNumber()

IsNumber()

maybe this ... $ES_NUMBER

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

; GUI
GUICreate("MY GUI")
$Input_T = GUICtrlCreateInput("30", 50, 28, 40, 20, $ES_NUMBER)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $Msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
    
WEnd
