Counting characters

[Maximortal]

Hi,

I need some kind of actor able to count number of characters incoming to his imput (from a text actor or a control is the same). Any ideas how to?

Thanks in advance

This is very easy to do in V2 using Javascript.
What version are you working with?

@Maximortal if you are using version 1

have a look in the chamsys actor

in the "chamsys engine" is a data length calculator

which is basically doing what you want …

Text Wrapper -> Text Parser -> Counter -> Reset after Analysing

@Maximortal 
much power to be had with Javascript in V2.

I suggest going thru the tutorial here: http://troikatronix.com/support/kb/getting-started-with-javascript/

and take a quick look at this string property: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_length_string.asp
