I want to count how many characters there are in a variable, then store that number as it's own variable...

Is this possible?

What I was wanting to do, a rough idea to maybe help you understand. I'm 'StringSplit'ing a long sentence, to get each seperate word. Then I want a loop to run, the amount of words there are in that sentence... Is that possible?

I want to find how many words there are, not all characters.

Code:

string := "I want to find how many words there are, not all characters."
StringReplace, string, string, %A_Space%, %A_Space%, UseErrorLevel
var := ErrorLevel+1

Or, better yet:

Code:

RegExReplace(string, "\S+", "", var)

why not using a parsing-loop right away?
