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 !!

    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 : 
     
     
    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;
            }
