Re: function to calculate string length...

If you have strings that are much longer than the field size, then using a binary algorithm might be faster. Check the string length, if too big, then check the length of 1/2 the string, if too small, then check the length of 3/4 of the string, and so on until you get within a character or two. You could also take the width of a medium character, such as "n", and use that to get you to within a couple of chars of the correct length.

Well, I cobbled this together from some of the archives...
Anyone see an obvious place to optimize?
