== Usage == === length ([ STRING ]) === The **length** function returns the number of characters within a provided string [[argument]]: {{{ awk BEGIN { print length("Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch") } }}} === Parentheses === In traditional versions of awk, the optional [[parentheses]] enclosures can be omitted from the string [[argument]]. However, this legacy form of syntax is deprecated and [[parentheses]] enclosures should always be used in current [[awk]] scripts.
