For some strange reasons it is only get the first character and exiting out of the func. I mean 1=10 is false those leading to true in my statement am I not right?

While StringLen($sStr) < $iLen

or

While Not (StringLen($sStr) = $iLen)

Your statement says basically "While StringLen() = 0". So the first loop the statement is no longer true.

Edit:

Actually, it's more like Not 1 = 1, I guess that's like -2 = 1 ...

Oh ya thats why, I just said that to someone else the other day, man I feel like a idoit. Thank you Smoke_N.

Also I know that I could do it without the NOT but was just curious to know how to do it, forgot to add the ()

Might shed some insight:

Global $i_len = 4, $i_loop
While 1
    $i_loop += 1
    ConsoleWrite( _
        "Value of Not " & $i_loop & ", (equivlent of StringLen()) = " & Not $i_loop & @CRLF & _
        "Value of $i_len = " & ($i_len > 0) & @CRLF & _
        "True or False on equality = " & ((Not $i_loop) = $i_len) & @CRLF  & @CRLF)
    If ((Not $i_loop) = $i_len) Then ExitLoop
    If $i_loop = 10 Then $i_len = 0
WEnd
