[Gambas-user] Lenght of a string

[Oliver Etchebarne Bejarano]

You are writing utf-8 characteres, so the 'é' and the 'ô' are two bytes 
long ("José Antônio" is 12 chars but 14 bytes long).

I think you should either remove the tildes, or use UTF-8 string 
functions (like String.len() instead of len()) for the calculations, and 
then change the encoding to something like latin-1. And hope that your 
system can understand the new encoding well...
