Determining the character length of strings (sugarcane)

TooMuchDog

So I want the player to be able to enter in some text, and I don't mind them putting in an arbitrarily large number of characters, but if what they enter is more than, say, 15 or 20 for the game to stead assign a different string to the variable. Is there a way of doing this without limiting the actual amount of characters the player types into the text input box?

Thank you in advance for your help.

You can determine the number of characters in a javascript string by checking it's length property.

note: the following is in TWEE notation, lines starting with two colons indicate a new passage, the text on the same line as the two colons is the new passage's title.


:: Start
<<set $var to "">>
Your name? <<textinput $var "[[Submit|Answer]]">>


:: Answer
Your name is: <<print $var>>
Characters: <<print $var.length>>
