Hello

Have script that has max size on content in a variable.
How to code size less than 51 characters?


FOO="Some string you want to check length of"
FOOLEN=`echo $FOO | wc | awk '{print $3}'`

You can then use $FOOLEN in a conditional.

Much better way:

FOO="Some string you want to check length of"
FOOLEN=${#FOO}

        

D'Oh, you're right ... what was I thinking ...
