I am updating an old set of methods to the most recent version and I received this error I can’t solve.
“Extension method Realbasic.len requires a conversion from type Variant to type String; use CTYpe to explicitly convert first”
Here is some sample code:
j = Regulard_MOdule.mytranscriptText_Dictionary.value(key).len-linestrim.len
It is blowing up at the len part.
- dictionaries return variants
- variants have a StringValue method
- stringValue returns a string that you can use len on
so if this was initially (note the addition of StringValue before len) like
j = Regulard_Module.mytranscriptText_Dictionary.value(key).StringValue.len - linestrim.len
then LEN with LENGTH
I feel honored you replied, I’ve read your posts for years - thank you!

Great to see you here around on the forum.
I just looked into pictures today from 12 years ago when I visited you at REALworld 2017.
