string_byte_length

string_byte_length

Returns the number of bytes in a string.

Syntax:

string_byte_length( str );

Argument	Description
str	The string to measure the number of bytes of.

Returns: Real

Description:

This function returns the number of bytes in a string, but you should note that due to their being held as UTF8, this will not be equal to their string length.

Example:

bytesize = string_byte_length("Hello World"); 

This would set bytesize to the number of bytes in "Hello World".
