Variable length

[datatek]

Hello,

I would like my script to react to the fact that a string is empty, or at least < a certain number of characters.

If this is the case, the script should perform something (IF --> Else).

How would I implement this?

Thankyou for your much needed help.

If StringLen(GuiCtrlRead($input)) > 5 Then
            ;do something here
elseif StringLen(GuiCtrlRead($input)) = 0 Then
            ;do something here
endif

Thank you for your quick reply.

ATM my code is

If StringLen(GuiCtrlRead($variable) < 1 Then

send("{ESC}")

elseif StringLen(GuiCtrlRead($variable)) > 0 Then

[Rest of script]

I get the error message

If StringLen(GuiCtrlRead($variable) < 1 Then

If StringLen(GuiCtrlRead($variable) < 1 ^ ERROR

and the program exits.

are you closing the ()

If StringLen(GuiCtrlRead($variable)) < 1 Then

and if the $variable isn't a GUI edit box or whatever. then it should just be:

If StringLen($variable) < 1 Then
send("{ESC}")
elseif StringLen($variable) > 0 Then

Probably faster to go:

$len = StringLen ("String")

Switch $len
    Case 0
    ;Empty
    Case 1 To 5
    ;Len 1 to 5
EndSwitch

or

$len = StringLen ("String")

Select
    Case $len > 0 
    ;... Blah blah blah
EndSelect

Cheers
