Number of Character of a string

[xcoldnet]

how do you evaluate the number of characters that made a string? I have to
display the string present into a database field. The string is the result of a
cftextarea insertion. Unfortunately the wrapping of the text is lost, so the
original format of 25 chars by 5 lines became a long line of text. I wish to
evaluate the numeber of characters of the string so i can set a loop a put a
line break every 25 characters. Any idea how? Thank you, dario

The len("string") function returns the length of a string (or binary object)

Thank you, meanwhile I studied the CFML reference and I found a nice function
called.... Wrap(string,limit) It insert a line break into the string at
'limit' interval being limit an integer. Unfortunately now my line of text is
displayed with white spaces every 25 charcters (I have set limit as 25) BUT
there is not carriage return, I wonder if there is something else to set. Any
idea? Dario
