This also works for arrays. (Matter of fact, a string is just an array of characters).

Hi there,
I'm just wondering, whether you all can tell me how to count the objects of a list. If I 
define for example a list:="abbccc", how do I manage to let GAP count the 
letters?
Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks
Stefan
