Better way of counting characters?1997-08-26 00:04:43Whats the best way to count the number of characters in a variable? If I set $FROM to the reply-to of the sender, I know I can count the characters like this: echo $FROM | wc -c And either use scoring or test to perform some action. My question is, is there a bit more system freindly of finding out how many characters are in $FROM? TIA -- There's more than one way to skin a cat: Way number 15 -- Krazy Glue and a toothbrush.
