[Question] String lenght - Universal - 29.01.2012

Hey everyone, I got this little question which is important, I think. So, let me explain you.

When you are formatting the string, do you need to add color code lenght to the string lenght?
Example:

With the embed color lenght is 27, without its 19. SA-MP has chat string lenght limit which is 128, so using embed colors in the string makes it really hard to fit in 128 cells.

Thanks for your reply,
Universal.

Yes, you need to account for these colors too. IMO, they're over used already.

Re: [Question] String lenght - Vince - 29.01.2012

It's not wrong, because it takes the NULL character (string terminator) into account.

Re: [Question] String lenght - Konstantinos - 29.01.2012

Yes, I know that it counts +1 for the string terminator, but this is only for Programming Languages.
When we want to count normally..

Between, I always count normally and then add +1.
