Getting number of digits

Hey guys, just wondering, is there a way to get the number of digits in a number, so for example, I enter 5678 and use it in this function so it will return 4. short of, ofcourse, writing and getting CursorPos

You can use string.len on numbers.

string.len(5678) -- Returns 4

or just use the # operator

val=5678
return #val

Doesn't work. I just tested it. Attempt to get length of number

OK, thanks
