How to find the count of character in the Text Area Field in OmniScrpt salesforce

Question

I want to get the count of character in the Text Area Field using omniscript in salesforce.

COUNT(%TextArea1%)!=''

I used the formula to get the count but unsuccessful.

Answer 1

// Get the value of the text area field
String text = {!Text_Area_Field__c};
// Get the length of the text
Integer count = text.length();
// Display the count on the screen
ScreenElement.displayMessage('The number of characters is ' + count);

This code will get the value of the text area field, calculate its length, and display it on the screen.

I used the OmniScripts Text Area Element documentation and the How to do a character count in rich text field forum post as references.

PS:

• Open the OmniScript Designer by opening an OmniScript via the OmniStudio app.
• From the Build panel, search for the screenElement you want to add, such as Text, Phone, or Website.
• Drag the screenElement onto the canvas, inside a Step element. You can reposition, clone, and adjust the width of the screenElement with a 12-column snap-to-grid.
• Configure the screenElement properties from the Properties panel. You can set the name, label, value, required, and other properties depending on the type of screenElement.
• Preview your script in Preview mode and test how the screenElement looks and behaves.
