Detect length of a text string

micksolo

Hi,

Does anyone know how to detect the length of a text string?
Also I want to be able to tell the game to detect the third letter in a text string.

All of my text is in tables. I have already seen this thread - http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/37781 but this did not answer the question, was just a workaround.

Thanks!

@micksolo ... pretty sure that's not possible as there are no string manipulation functions in GS presently.

If you watch the boggle tutorial videos on http://www.gshelper.com that might point you in the right direction.
