Yes! You can use a string function on the Text property of the TextBox to get the length of the current text.
Here is some sample code (assuming the LocalScript is inside of the TextBox
print(string.len(script.Parent.Text)) -- prints the length of the TextBox text when the script is ran

No. Don't use string.len. Use the length operator #

Why not use string.len? You could use #, but I prefer using string.len. They both give the same result, anyways.

The reason to not use string.len is because we have the length operator. There is absolutely no reason to use len anymore
