maxLength

maxLength(): Integer;

The maxLength method of the StringUtf8 primitive type returns the declared maximum length of the receiver. If the maximum length of a StringUtf8 variable has not been declared, -1 is returned.

The following example shows the use of the maxLength method.

vars
    str8 : StringUtf8[100];
begin
    str8 := @"hello world";
    write str8.maxLength;   // Outputs 100
end;
