Added by NVSE V4. Returns the length of a string variable, which is the number of characters it contains.

(int) Sv_Length ToMeasure:string_var

string_var my_string

let my_string := "Ringo"

Sv_Length my_string ; returns 5

Remember that strings are indexed from 0, so the location of the final character is always:
```
Sv_Length my_string - 1
```
.

-As a condition, you need to use [[Eval]]:

-string_var my_message
-if eval Sv_Length my_message > 3
