Length node

Count the characters in a text value

The Length node takes one input and counts the number of characters in it, e.g. hello = 4.

It's the only node in the String operator category.

Usage

This node is a function, so you can add it to the segments of these comparison nodes:

• Equals / Not equals

• Less than / Greater than

as well as the segments of Arithmetic nodes.

Compatibility

The node's own segment must hold a Text value.

Node	Accepted Value Type
Attribute	Text
Text	Text
Value From Item Attribute	Text

When comparing Length, the other segment must hold a Number value.

Node	Accepted Value Type
Another Length	Number
Attribute	Number
Count	Number
Number	Number
Value From Item Attribute	Number
Arithmetic nodes	Number

Options

Select the node to access its options:

• Swap - use another function. If any segments are populated, only compatible nodes are listed.

• Delete - remove the node from the segment.

Example

Fetch all defects with a description longer than 200 characters.

In AQS terms:

Fetch items of the Defects interface where the length of their Description attribute is greater than 200.
