Counting characters in an editfield

[Blanco]

This question is related to my codepad script...

Is it possible to count the characters you've typed in an editfield of a dialog?

Right now, I'm doing it with updating an variable each time you press one of the buttons. That works perfect, but right now you must use the dialog buttons!
You can type the code with your numeric keypad on your keyboard but the script won't react then.

Any workarounds?

in most programming languages a String is an Array of Chars, so you could try :

Code: [Select]

count xwhere x = your String.

I'm not sure ofp handels String this way though, but u can at least try it.
