Maximum length of a string
Posted on 2006-07-11
What is the maximum length of a string. I am trying to store a document in a variable and my plan was to use a string, but I don't know what the maximum length is. If there is one, is there a better way to store a 500 word document in a variable?

Hi,
I can't say that I have ever come across a problem with a string getting too long, but I did find the following article that indicates that the max length is something approaching UInt32.Max.

If you document is only 500 words then it should be well within the realms of being stored within a String variable.

You may find that (depending on version) your string limit is actually closer to 32K. At least, this is the maximum you can display in a text box... so I'd take that as the practical limit if UI is involved.
