Count ALL Characters in a String in Ruby
Is there an equivalent to PHP's strlen method in Ruby?
I know about Ruby's String#count method, but it requires that I define a set of characters to count. In my situation, I want to count ALL characters, not just certain characters.

Use String#size or String#length method. It will work for you.
Returns the character length of
str.
Example :
"abc 12-".size # => 7
