## 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 `String.Length` function. ## Sample code This example uses the LenB function to return the number of bytes in a string. ``` xojo Dim n As Integer n = LenB("Hello world") ' returns 11 Dim s As String s = "Hello World" n = s.LenB ' returns 11 ``` ## Compatibility All project types on all supported operating systems. ## See also `String.AscByte`, `String.ChrByte`, `String.IndexOfBytes`, `String.Length`, `String.MiddleBytes`, `String.RightBytes` functions.
