Is it possible to get the number of letters in a player's name?

Names are a string, and strings can be manipulated in various ways. The easiest way to get the length of string is to use the string.len(str) function. It can be used two ways:
string.len("Hello World!")
("Hello World!"):len()
In order to get the length of the name of a player, simply do this:
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer print(string.len(plr.Name))
It's that simple!

A shortcut is the `#` unary length operator. `#plr.Name` is the same as `plr.Name:len()` BlueTaslem 18071 — 10y
