The # Operator operator works on strings, tables and our HL7/X12 objects.
With strings, the # operator is used to get the length or number of characters of a string.
Try out this sample code in the Translator:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
local myString = "Hello, World!"
local stringLength = #myString
trace("Length of the string: "..stringLength) |
Use the Annotation Window to see the # operator capture the string length.
