Hi guys,

Is possible to show a word count field in business central ?

Let says there is a field to show 0/100 in the field. When I have inputted 10 words, it will updated as 10/100.

Is it possible for any coding solution >_< ?

Many thanks !!

Word count

Hi, you can use the Text.StrLen(Text) Method to get the length of a string you define.

Hello,

Here's the reference and code for the word count field in business central :

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/methods-auto/text/text-strlen-method

field(2; Name; Text[100])
{
Caption = 'Name';
trigger OnValidate()
var
Length: Integer;
MaxLength: Integer;
begin
Length := StrLen(Rec.Name);
MaxLength := MaxStrLen(Rec.Name);
"Word Count" := Format(Length) + '/' + Format(MaxLength);
end;
}
field(15; "Word Count"; Text[250])
{
DataClassification = ToBeClassified;
}

Hope this solution's help's.
