I would like to know how I can know how MANY letters are in the string with out KNOWING the word?

EXAMPLE code:

using System;

public CLASS word
{
public static void Main()
{
string EW = Console.ReadLine();
char o = EW[0];
//I would like to know how many letters are in EW so I can do this.
if (Amount of Letters in EW == 2)
char t =EW[1];
}
}

Can I get some help? if you want to know how long it is, there is a method for that. If you literally need to count the letters A-Z as they appear in the string, then you'll need to loop through the characters in the string, and each one that is A-Z increments the count..Quote from: BC_Programmer on February 27, 2009, 08:16:23 PM

I'm not interested in the letters A - Z just how long the word is...
How do I use the method you suggest?
BTW thanks for the quick reply!
