Sv Length

A function added by the New Vegas Script Extender.

Description

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

Syntax

[help]

(int) Sv_Length ToMeasure:string_var

Example

string_var my_string
int iLength

let my_string := "Ringo"

let iLength := Sv_Length my_string ; == 5

As a condition, you need to use Eval:

string_var my_message

if eval Sv_Length my_message > 3
    ; then that string var contains more than 3 characters
endif

Notes

• Remember that strings are indexed from 0, so the location of the final character is always:

  Sv_Length my_string - 1

  .
