{{task}}

In this task, the goal is to find the <em>byte</em> length of a string. This means encodings like [[UTF-8]] may need to be handled specially, as there is not necessarily a one-to-one relationship between bytes and characters, and some languages recognize this.

For character length, see [[String Character Length]].

==[[4D]]==
[[Category:4D]]

$length:=Length("Hello, world!")

==[[ActionScript]]==
[[Category:ActionScript]]
myStrVar.length()

==[[Ada]]==
[[Category:Ada]]

'''Compiler:''' GCC 4.1.2

Str : String := "Hello World";
Length : constant Natural := Str'Length;

==[[AppleScript]]==
[[Category:AppleScript]]
count of "Hello World"

==[[AWK]]==
[[Category:AWK]]
From within any code block:
w=length("Hello, world!") # static string example
x=length("Hello," s " world!") # dynamic string example
y=length($1) # input field example
z=length(s) # variable name example
Ad hoc program from command line:
echo "Hello, world!" | awk '{print length($0)}'
From executable script: (prints for every line arriving on stdin)
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
{print"The length of this line is "length($0)}

==[[C]]==
[[Category:C]]

'''Standard:''' [[ANSI C]] (AKA [[C89]]):

'''Compiler:''' GCC 3.3.3

#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
const char *string = "Hello, world!";
size_t length = strlen(string);
return 0;
}

or by hand:

int main(void)
{
const char *string = "Hello, world!";
size_t length = 0;
char *p = (char *) string;
while (*p != '\0') length ;
return 0;
}

or (for arrays of char only)

#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
char const s[] = "Hello, world!";
size_t length = sizeof s - 1;
return 0;
}

==[[C plus plus|C ]]==
[[Category:C plus plus|C ]]

'''Standard:''' [[ISO C plus plus|ISO C ]] (AKA [[C plus plus 98|C 98]]):

'''Compiler:''' g 4.0.2

#include <string> // note: '''not''' <string.h>
int main()
{
std::string s = "Hello, world!";
std::string::size_type length = s.length(); // option 1: In Characters/Bytes
std::string::size_type size = s.size(); // option 2: In Characters/Bytes
// In bytes same as above since sizeof(char) == 1
std::string::size_type bytes = s.length() * sizeof(std::string::value_type);
}

For wide character strings:

#include <string>
int main()
{
std::wstring s = L"\u304A\u306F\u3088\u3046";
std::wstring::size_type length = s.length() * sizeof(std::wstring::value_type); // in bytes
}

[[Category:C sharp|C#]]

'''Platform:''' [[.NET]]
'''Language Version:''' 1.0

string s = "Hello, world!";
int clength = s.Length; // In characters
int blength = System.Text.Encoding.GetBytes(s).length; // In Bytes.

==[[Clean]]==
[[Category:Clean]]

Clean Strings are unboxed arrays of characters. Characters are always a single byte. The function size returns the number of elements in an array.

strlen string = size string

'''Interpreter:''' [[GHC | GHCi]] 6.6, [[Hugs]]

'''Compiler:''' [[GHC]] 6.6

strlen = length "Hello, world!"

==[[IDL]]==
[[Category:IDL]]

'''Compiler:''' any IDL compiler should do

length = strlen("Hello, world!")

==[[Java]]==
[[Category:Java]]

Java encodes strings in UTF-16, which represents each character with one or two 16-bit values. The length method of String objects returns the number of 16-bit values used to encode a string, so the number of bytes can be determined by doubling that number.

String s = "Hello, world!";
int byteCount = s.length() * 2;

An other way to know the byte length of a string is to explicitly specify the charset we desire.

String s = "Hello, world!";
int byteCountUTF16 = s.getByte("UTF-16").length;
int byteCountUTF8 = s.getByte("UTF-8").length;

==[[JavaScript]]==
[[Category:JavaScript]]

JavaScript encodes strings in UTF-16, which represents each character with one or two 16-bit values. The length property of string objects gives the number of 16-bit values used to encode a string, so the number of bytes can be determined by doubling that number.

var s = "Hello, world!";
var byteCount = s.length * 2; //26

==[[JudoScript]]==
[[Category:JudoScript]]

//Store length of hello world in length and print it
. length = "Hello World".length();

==[[Lua]]==

'''Interpreter:''' [[Lua]] 5.0 or later.

string="Hello world"
length=#string

'''Interpreter:''' [[mIRC]]

alias stringlength { echo -a Your Name is: $len($$?="Whats your name") letters long! }

==[[OCaml]]==

'''Interpreter'''/'''Compiler:''' [[Ocaml]] 3.09

String.length "Hello world";;


==[[Perl]]==
[[Category:Perl]]
'''Interpreter:''' [[perl]] 5.8.6

Perl strings are in either the platform's native single-byte encoding (usually ISO 8859-1) or UTF-8. <code>utf8::upgrade</code> (a translation function) has the side effect of returning the resulting byte length, and does nothing else if the string is already UTF-8.
$str = "Hello, world!";
$length = utf8::is_utf8($str) ? utf8::upgrade($str) : length $str;
'''Note:''' Do not <code>use utf8;</code> in this case. That has other side effects, and the functions are available without it.

==[[PHP]]==
[[Category:PHP]]

$length = strlen('Hello, world!');

==[[PL/SQL|PL/SQL]]==
[[Category:PL/SQL|PL/SQL]]

DECLARE
string VARCHAR2( 50 ) := 'Hello, world!';

==[[Tcl]]==
[[Category:Tcl]]

Basic version:

string bytelength "Hello, world!"

or more elaborately, needs '''Interpreter''' any 8.X. Tested on 8.4.12.

fconfigure stdout -encoding utf-8; #So that Unicode string will print correctly
set s1 "hello, world"
set s2 "\u304A\u306F\u3088\u3046"

puts [format "length of \"%s\" in bytes is %d" $s2 [string bytelength $s2]]

==[[UNIX Shell]]==
[[Category:UNIX Shell]]

With external utilities:

'''Interpreter:''' any bourne shell

string='Hello, world!'
length=`echo -n "$string" | wc -c | tr -dc '0-9'`
echo $length # if you want it printed to the terminal

With SUSv3 parameter expansion modifier:

'''Interpreter:''' [[Almquist SHell]] (NetBSD 3.0), [[Bourne Again SHell]] 3.2, [[Korn SHell]] (5.2.14 99/07/13.2), [[Z SHell]]

string='Hello, world!'
length="${#string}"
echo $length # if you want it printed to the terminal
