Yet another question: How to measure the length of a given string

[Peter Quain]

Gilis

Look in e-basic help for String Functions. You are after "Len":

Your input box content will be stored in a variable ... say strInBx.

If Len(strInBx) < 2 Then
... commands to return InputBox to screen, and tell subject not to be 
so lazy ..
End If
---------------------
Len, LenB (functions)
-------------------
Syntax

Len(expression)
LenB(expression)

Description

Returns the number of characters (for Len) or bytes (for LenB) in 
String expression or the number of bytes required to store the 
specified variable.
