Method

LenB

Warning

This item was deprecated in version 2019r2. Please use String.Bytes as a replacement.

Description

Returns the number of bytes in the specified string.

Usage

result=LenB(string)

OR

result=stringVariable.LenB

Part	Type	Description
result	Integer	The number of bytes in string.
string	String	Any valid string expression.
stringVariable	String	Any variable of type String.

Notes

LenB treats string as a series of bytes, rather than a series of characters. It should be used when string represents binary data. If you need to know the number of characters in string rather than the number of bytes, use the Len function.

Sample code

This example uses the LenB function to return the number of bytes in a string.

Dim n As Integer
n = LenB("Hello world") // returns 11

Dim s As String
s = "Hello World"
n = s.LenB // returns 11
