Problem with the strlen function in ksh
Hello,
Just a little problem with the ksh function in this program
while read line ; do
TOTO=$line
TOTONB=strlen ($TOTO)
echo $TOTONB
echo $line
done
So i have no value return in TOTONB , so i think that strlen don't work correctly . The doc don't give me any explications to avance in my problem.
I also test with the following lines :
TOTONB=$(strlen($TOTO)) --> don't work
TOTONB=strlen[$TOTO] --> don't work
Have anyone the good syntax or a explication for this problem
Thanks a lot...

hello,
i have a problem with strlen. I have written this:
for(y=13,z=0; cInBuf!=' ';y++)
{
cBuf=cInBuf;
z++;
}
len = strlen(cBuf);
out=len/2;
fprintf(outfile,"F%i",out);
If strlen is e.g. 22, it write F22. I want to write F2F2.
How can i do this?... (5 Replies)
