Length of a string in bytes.

Length of a string in bytes. This function ascertains how long a string is by searching for the concluding 0. Use strlen, if you need to count the number of (UTF8-) letters in the string. If the string is not 0-terminated, the call can lead to significant errors. This function does not give a response to how much memory is reserved for a string, this is something the script programmer should pay attention to him/herself.

Name	Type	Default	Description
Return	int		Length of the string in bytes without the concluding 0
s	char*	-	0-terminated string

Preconditions

s must be 0-terminated
#include "internal/text.h"

Copy the current text to a minimal char* buffer.

#include "internal/text.h"

int main ()
{
    char 		* 	buffer 	= 0;
    String 			str		= string::alloc ();

    frame::gettext(gFrame, str, 0, -1, kExportPlain);
    buffer = alloc (strsize (string::get (str)) + 1);
    strcpy (buffer, string::get (str));
    wlog ("", "%s\n\n", buffer);

    string::release(str);
    release(buffer);

    return 0;
}
