If you don t need the leading and trailing spaces    str Trim   Length

You can simply use   int numberOfLetters   yourWord Length    or to be cool and trendy  use LINQ like this    int numberOfLetters   yourWord ToCharArray   Count      and if you hate both Properties and LINQ  you can go old school with a loop    int numberOfLetters   0  foreach  char letter in yourWord        numberOfLetters

What is wrong with using string Length      len will be 5 int len    Hello  Length

User · Answer

myString Length    will get you your result   alternatively  if you only want the count of letters  myString Count char IsLetter     however  if you want to display the words as            where   is a space    you can also use this    small note  that will fail with a repeated word  so check your repeats  myString Split      ToDictionary n   gt  n  n   gt  n Length     or if you just want the strings and get the counts later  myString Split         will not fail with repeats   and neither will this  which will also get you the counts  myString Split      Select n   gt  new KeyValuePair lt string  int gt  n  n Length
