hi Diwa,

please try:

# Str="My Name is xyz"
# echo $Str | awk '{ print length }'
14
#

or
#Str="My Name is xyz"
#lengthStr=$(echo $Str | awk '{ print length }')
#echo $lengthStr
14


hope this helps!

kind regards

hi again,

the perl alternative will look as follows:


lengthStr=$(echo $Str | perl -nle 'print length')


hope this helps too!

Hi,

I didn't see the most simple solution in the posix shell:
Str="My Name is xyz"
print ${#Str}
