C++ help.....stringlength?
If you are using the actual C++ string class (#include %26lt;string%26gt;) and declared sku as string you can do this:





cout %26lt;%26lt; sku.length();
Reply:well... make a integer variable say "length" and then dont forget 2 include the string librarry header file





then do the following


int length;


length=strlen(sku)
Reply:length = strlen(sku);
