Length node

​

Description

A Length node takes one input. It counts the number of characters in the inputted text, e.g. hello = 4

Usage

The Length node is an input, so it can be added to the segments of comparison nodes and other functions.

It can be:

• added to these comparison nodes:

  • ​ Equals
  • ​ Greater than
  • ​ Less than
  • ​ Not Equals

• compared against these nodes:

  • ​ Attribute (of Number type)
  • ​ Count
  • ​ Length
  • ​ Value From Item Attribute (of Number type)
  • all Arithmetic nodes

• populated with these nodes:

  • ​ Attribute (of Text type)
  • ​ Text node
  • ​ Value From Item Attribute (of Text type)

Configuration

• ​ Swap - change the comparison node. If any segments hold values, they'll remain but the node types offered will be limited.

• ​ Delete - remove the node.
