I asked ChatGPT 4 your question:

Ui.Vision: how to count the number of digits of a word? e.g)apple = 5 digits, banana = 6 digits

And this is the answer (it works!):

In UI.Vision, to count the number of characters (or “digits” in your context, assuming you mean characters rather than numerical digits) in a word, you would typically use the scripting or macro capabilities of the tool to measure the length of a string. UI.Vision allows for automation through visual recognition and macro commands, but it doesn’t directly execute programming code like JavaScript or Python within its interface. However, you can achieve this by setting up a macro that includes JavaScript code to count the characters in a word. Here’s how you can do it:

Set Variable for Word: First, you would set a variable for the word you want to count. For example, if you want to count the characters in “apple”, you would set a variable word to “apple”.
ExecuteScript Command: Use the executeScript or executeScript_Sandbox command to run a small snippet of JavaScript code that counts the length of the string stored in the variable. The JavaScript method .length will be used to get the count of characters in the word.
Store the Result: The result from the JavaScript execution can be stored in another variable.
Echo or Display the Result: Finally, use the echo command to display the result in the log or output.

Here is an example of how the macro would look:

{
  "Name": "CountCharacters",
  "CreationDate": "2023-04-01",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "store",
      "Target": "apple",
      "Value": "word"
    },
    {
      "Command": "executeScript_Sandbox",
      "Target": "return ${word}.length;",
      "Value": "length"
    },
    {
      "Command": "echo",
      "Target": "The word ${word} has ${length} characters.",
      "Value": ""
    }
  ]
}

This macro does the following:

Stores the word “apple” in a variable named word.
Uses executeScript_Sandbox to execute a JavaScript snippet that returns the length of the word stored in word and stores this length in a variable named length.
Echoes the result in the UI.Vision log or output pane, showing how many characters the word has.

To adapt this to other words, you simply need to change the value in the store command to the word of your choice.
