Number of digits

[Dan Ebberts]

Something like this:

n = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
Math.round(n).toString().length;

this seems a little clunky, but i think it will work:
s = " " + effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value;
s.split(" ")[1].length;
essentially you need to get the number value to be a text string rather than a number, then you can use length to return the number of characters (minus the space that we added to convert the slider value to a string)

Thanks for your refinement. Both are very clever. I’ve used Dan’s way and it works perfectly.
