Re: Size of a string

I've looked in all our documentation and there is a function called sizeof() but this is for counting the number of FILLED elements in an array. Apart from that, all I can say is use strlen() if you can trust it to give you the required figure you are looking for. I can't think why checking for the length of string wouldn't return the same value as checking it's size but I'm not a guru on this issue.
