Hi DM,

I'm curious what the mode parameter is for in console.strlen()? jsobjs.html says mode is an optional parameter, but it doesn't say what it's for. When looking at the mode values in sbbsdefs.js, it seems some don't make sense for getting string length (such as P_NOABORT, P_NOABORT, etc.)..
Also, P_NOATCODES might make sense, but I'd think console.strlen() already would not be counting at-codes as part of string length..?

Today, it's only use is to control whether the passed string is expected to be UTF-8 encoded or not.

It *does* count at-codes as part of the string. Passing P_NOATCODES would have no effect.

The only checked/used P_* (print) mode flag in console.strlen() is P_UTF8.

I was thinking attribute codes when I wrote that.. :P It makes sense that it would count at-codes as part of the string.

I see. Thanks.
