String Counting

[BlackNerubia]

Ok, i was wondering if there was a easy way to make a trigger count the Characters in a string and check for spaces?

well, there is an integer preset "string length" to check the length of a string. but as that includes spaces as well you could do:

Display String Length
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing Empty String as A substring  
        [COLOR="red"]//* to detect if the player types [U]anything[/U] in chat[/COLOR]
    Conditions
    Actions
        [COLOR="red"]//* this would be the normal length of the string[/COLOR]
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Entered String Length:   + (String((Length of (Entered chat string))))) 
        [COLOR="Red"]//* ---- this part to count string length without spaces[/COLOR]
        Set i = 0
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to (Length of (Entered chat string)), do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Substring((Entered chat string), (Integer A), (Integer A))) Not equal to   [COLOR="Red"]//*enter a space here[/COLOR]
                    Then - Actions
                        Set i = (i + 1)
                    Else - Actions
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Entered String Length without spaces:   + (String(i)))
        [COLOR="Red"]//* the integer variable "i" would have now stored the string length without spaces[/COLOR]
