Hello All

I m stuck at a place. Need help

I want to get the length of characters in a table cell, upto the aligned character. For Example:- if a cell contains text such as "099.27432943", I want the length of "099" and "27432943" separately. And also the width of the character "." .

Can anyone give me some ideas on this?

Thank You

Hi aviR,

do you mean the number of characters before and after the dot?
Or do you mean the length in mm (or points etc.) for the two parts of the number?

What would you like to do with the results?

Hii

I mean number of characters before and after the dot.

I want to set width according to these values

What width do you like to set?
The width of the cell? Do you want to find out the minimum width of the cell that is necessary to keep the number in one single line?

You see, it's still not clear to me what you like to accomplish.

Please show a before/after comparison with screenshots.
