If it is a NSString then

[string length];

Not sure if you are talking about multi-bytes characters

If it is NSString then use str.length
If it is c string then use strlen(cString)

length

Returns the number of Unicode characters in the receiver.

- (NSUInteger)length

Return Value

The number of Unicode characters in the receiver. Discussion

The number returned includes the individual characters of composed character sequences, so you cannot use this method to determine if a string will be visible when printed or how long it will appear.

NSLog(@"Length of your string is %d",[yourString length]);

You can use something like this:

NSString *str = @"Hello World!";
NSUInteger len = str.length;
